What is the max compression ratio an engine can withstand?
What is the max compression ratio an engine can withstand? Compression ratios usually vary between 1.05–7 per stage; however, a ratio of 3.5–4.0 per stage is considered maximum for most process operations. Why do diesel engines have a higher compression ratio? It produces more power inside the engine, which ultimately leads to a higher compression ratio. Therefore, the size of the engine cylinder and of course, the application is the reason why do diesel engines have a higher compression ratio. Why is only the diesel engine used in heavy vehicles? What is the maximum compression ratio achieved so far for?...
