An Introduction to the Workings and Advantages of 6 Cylinder Engines

Is a 6 cylinder engine good? Many people may ask this question, nowadays, the world, people's environmental awareness is generally enhanced, environmental regulations are becoming more and more stringent, many car companies have slowly withdrawn from the large-displacement multi-cylinder engine market, small-displacement turbocharging gradually become the mainstream, especially four-cylinder, three-cylinder engine, small-displacement turbocharging can indeed achieve energy saving and emission reduction and beautiful effect. However, 6 cylinder engine still has its unique advantages, six-cylinder engine brings the vehicle driving experience, especially in acceleration, ride comfort and quietness of the advantages and small displacement turbocharged engine is very different.

A 6 cylinder engine is an internal combustion engine consisting of six cylinders, usually in a V-type or in-line layout. 6-cylinder engines are mainly composed of the following components.

1. cylinder: the cylinder is one of the main components of the engine, mainly responsible for the compression and combustion of the fuel mixture to form a high-pressure gas that exerts force on the piston.

2. Piston: The piston is the part of the engine used to withstand the high-pressure gas force generated by the combustion of fuel, and its up and down reciprocating motion will compress the fuel mixture and the force generated by combustion is transferred to the crankshaft. 3.

3. crankshaft and connecting rod: the crankshaft is responsible for converting the reciprocating motion of the piston into a rotary motion, and the connecting rod connects the piston to the crankshaft and serves as the transmission member between the two.

4. Valve System: Includes intake and exhaust valves that control the fuel mixture into and exhaust gases out of the cylinder.

5. Fuel supply system: the fuel supply system provides the engine with the fuel it needs and includes components such as fuel pumps and injectors.

The working principle of a 6-cylinder engine can be broken down into four stages to understand. Intake Stage. The piston moves downward, causing the valves to open, at which point the intake valves introduce a mixture of air and fuel into the cylinder, then, as the piston moves upward, the intake valves close and compress the mixture; Compression Stage. The piston moves upwards and compresses the mixture, at the same time, the spark plug ignites the mixture and causes an explosion. This pushes the piston downward and generates energy. Explosion stage. The piston moves downward and transfers energy to the crankshaft, which converts the energy into rotational power and transfers it to the vehicle's drivetrain; Exhaust Stage. The piston moves upward and pushes out exhaust gases, at which point the exhaust valve opens and expels the exhaust gases into the exhaust pipe at the rear of the car.

Compared to the 4-cylinder engine, the 6-cylinder engine does work more intensively, which to a certain extent means smoothness, in fact, the most jittery is the single-cylinder engine, especially at low rpm, because the gap between the work done is too large, so it gives the driver the most obvious feeling of jitter. And from the innate advantage, 6-cylinder engines are theoretically smoother than 4-cylinder engines. Of course, 6-cylinder engines can be subdivided into inline 6-cylinder, V-6 and horizontally opposed 6-cylinder. The V-6 can be subdivided into 90-degree angle and 60-degree angle.

As the turbocharging technology continues to mature, popularization and environmental awareness, the 6-cylinder engine gradually withered, the scope of application is actually gradually shrinking, but there are still many people love the 6-cylinder engine.
