How The Atkinson Cycle Works - Car Engines

Опубликовано 31 октября 2014, 15:00

How does a hybrid car engine work? The modern Atkinson cycle is used by cars such as the Toyota Prius, Ford C-max and Fusion Hybrids, Lexus CT200h, and Mazda SkyActive engines. The basic difference between the Atkinson cycle and the Otto cycle, is that during the compression stroke, the intake valve is left open for a slight duration, effectively decreasing the compression stroke. This in turn means the expansion ratio is greater than the compression ratio, and results in a greater efficiency of the engine.
