How to calculate the compression ratio?
Again, the CR is calculated by dividing the total swept volume by the total compressed volume. Here's what's involved in determining each of those totals: The swept volume is equal to the cylinder volume + clearance volume + piston volume + gasket volume + chamber volume.
What is a 10 to 1 compression ratio?
For example, if a cylinder has 10cc of air when the piston is at BDC, and 1cc when it's at TDC, that means the engine has a compression ratio of 10:1.
What is a compression ratio of 12 to 1?
Compression ratios usually range from 8:1 to 10:1. A higher compression ratio -- say, from 12:1 to 14:1 -- means higher combustion efficiency. Higher compression ratios and combustion efficiency mean more power with less fuel, and fewer exhaust gases.
What is a 9 to 1 compression ratio?
That's the volume of the cylinder when a piston is all the way down compared to all the way up to the top. It's written out and said as a ratio. For example, for an engine with a 9:1 compression ratio, you'd say that it's “nine to one.”
