The design of the number of cylinders of the engine is determined by multiple factors such as power demand, smooth operation, fuel efficiency, cost control and space layout, etc. There are significant differences in the performance characteristics, application scenarios and user experience of the engines with different numbers of cylinders. In this article, we will introduce you to the four-cylinder engine and the characteristics of Deutz 4-cylinder engine.
1. Why are there engines with different numbers of cylinders?
(1) Power demand
①Small cylinder number (e.g. 3 cylinders): small size and low cost, suitable for micro-vehicles or hybrid systems with low power demand.
② Medium cylinder number (4-6 cylinders): balanced power and smoothness, covering mainstream scenarios such as family cars and commercial machinery.
③Multi-cylinder number (8 cylinders and above): pursuing high power and smoothness, used for luxury cars, supercars or heavy machinery.
(2) Demand for vibration suppression
① The more cylinders, the more even the ignition interval, the smoother the engine runs (e.g. 60° ignition interval for 6 cylinders, 180° for 4 cylinders).
② small number of cylinders need to make up for vibration defects through the balance shaft, suspension system and other technologies.
(3) fuel economy
① increase in the number of cylinders will enhance fuel consumption, but through the closed-cylinder technology (such as V8 into 4-cylinder) can be realized part of the working conditions of energy saving.
② small cylinder with turbocharging (such as 3-cylinder + turbo) can balance power and economy.
2. Typical application scenarios of four-cylinder engines
(1) Passenger car field: family sedan, SUV, performance car.
(2) Engineering machinery: small excavators, generator sets.
3. Features of Deutz 4-cylinder engine
(1)High-efficiency combustion system
The Deutz 4-cylinder engine adopts advanced combustion technology, optimizing the shape of the combustion chamber and the design of the fuel injection system. Precise fuel injection enables the fuel to be fully atomized in the cylinder and evenly mixed with the air, thus achieving a more complete combustion process. This not only improves the engine's power output efficiency and reduces fuel consumption, but also lowers harmful emissions.
(2) Advanced turbocharging technology
In order to further enhance the performance of the engine, the Deutz four-cylinder engine is equipped with an efficient turbocharging system. By compressing the intake air, the turbocharger increases the amount of air entering the cylinders, enabling the fuel to burn in a more oxygen-rich environment. This allows the engine to produce more power and torque at the same displacement. At the same time, turbocharging technology also improves the low-speed torque characteristics of the engine, allowing the vehicle or equipment to have a better power response at start-up and low-speed driving, improving overall efficiency and handling performance.
(3) Reliable cooling and lubrication system
The cooling system of the DEUTZ four-cylinder engine adopts optimized water channel design and efficient radiator, which can effectively take away the heat generated during the engine's working process and prevent the engine from overheating. As for the lubrication system, high-quality lubricating oil and precise lubrication piping are adopted to reduce friction and wear and prolong the service life of the engine.
