What is a three-cylinder engine?

What about the first and third cylinder engines?

We often say that the engine cylinder has three cylinder holes, which is nothing in itself, but many years ago, when the automobile industry just started, it was good to build a car, and the cost should also be considered. So at that time, a large number of models with three-cylinder cars were produced, and the technology of three-cylinder cars at that time was not mature, so some problems often appeared, which brought a bad impression to consumers.

Nowadays, many people, especially those who have experienced that era, tend to think that the three-cylinder engine still has the previous problems, such as large jitter, loud noise, poor power and so on. Is that so? I don't think so. After decades of development, great changes have taken place in the appearance and interior of automobiles. Will engine technology, including three-cylinder engines, stagnate? With the development of the times, large-displacement vehicles meet the requirements of emission and environmental protection.

There are fewer and fewer 2.5-displacement vehicles on the market, and the displacement is basically below 2.0. Someone wants to ask, I want to buy a low-displacement one, but I still want some motivation. What should I do? Of course, the manufacturer has already thought it over for you. Low-displacement turbocharged engines, such as the common 1.5T three-cylinder engine, have similar power performance to 2.0 self-priming. It can be said that the three-cylinder engine is the development trend, and we have affirmed this development trend from the top ten engines of Ward and China. It can be said that more and more three-cylinder engines have won prizes. The following points can explain how the three-cylinder machine is and why it is the development trend.

1, price

To make money, a three-cylinder engine with the same displacement must be cheaper than a four-cylinder engine. There is no doubt that the first thing we care about when buying a car is the price. After all, most of them are ordinary people Developing a three-cylinder engine can reduce costs, improve profits and increase the competitiveness of enterprises.

2. Defect improvement

We know that if we want to develop a three-cylinder machine, we must overcome its defects, otherwise the buyer will not pay the bill. Now manufacturers have many ways, such as adding a counterweight, doing more sound insulation design, improving flywheel and so on to reduce jitter and noise. Anyone who has bought or tested the effect must know. In the case of blind measurement, we simply can't tell the difference between a three-cylinder machine and a four-cylinder machine. We have done a good job in noise and jitter, which we are very concerned about. As for motivation, so much the better.

3. Maintenance cost

Because the price of the three-cylinder machine is lower than that of the four-cylinder machine and the structure is simpler than that of the four-cylinder machine, it is much cheaper in the later maintenance cost. In addition, due to the small size and light weight of the three-cylinder engine, the weight of the whole vehicle will also decrease, and the natural fuel consumption is generally lower than that of the four-cylinder engine.

Second, summary

To sum up, I think the three-cylinder machine can be bought completely, not only because of the low price, but also because the power is not weak at all. Finally, the cost of car maintenance in the later stage is relatively low. So, if all these can be satisfied, why not?
