Has three major technology Ford 1.6L supercharged engine

At the Paris Motor Show, Ford demonstrated the EcoBoost 1.6L engine. As a result, Ford's EcoBoost family has gained another step. There is news that this engine will first appear in the domestic Maverick, and the Ford Mondeo, which will be made in 2013, will also carry a 1.6-liter EcoBoost engine.

EcoBoost is no stranger to this name. It is printed on Ford Mondeo's winning engine cover. Energy efficiency is the reason for its existence. The addition of fuel direct injection system maximizes the utilization of every drop of fuel. One of the most popular engine technologies. Only Mondeo's victory was 2.0L, but today it is 1.6L lower than its displacement.

In addition, in terms of power tuning, this kind of collocation also has inherent advantages. In the case of the same hardware, it can be adjusted to different styles to serve differently positioned vehicles. From the data, the low-power version of this 1.6-liter EcoBoost engine has 110 kW (150 hp), which can completely replace the existing 2.0-liter natural-intake engine, while the high-power version comes from 132 kW (180 hp). ) With a data of 5700 rpm and a maximum torque of 240 N•m/1500rpm, the 2.3-liter natural-intake engine will also be replaced.

The efficiency of the turbocharger is needless to say. To some extent, direct fuel injection and turbocharging are a perfect combination. The reason why the 1.6L EcoBoost engine demonstrated this time can meet the needs of the public is that the displacement is small. We need a small displacement engine.

The top of the piston of a typical gasoline engine is flat, and a groove is dug to form a combustion chamber together with the cylinder head. The piston of the EcoBoost 1.6L engine is different. The top of the piston of the EcoBoost 1.6L engine is bulging. This design is easier to fit with the cylinder head and the space of the combustion chamber is reduced. Therefore, its compression is 10:1 larger than that of other supercharged engines.

The 1.6L EcoBoost engine also adopts a variable intake and exhaust timing system. Two regulators on the intake and exhaust sides adjust the opening timing of intake and exhaust valves through changes in the internal oil chamber to meet different operating conditions. Engine demand for intake and exhaust cadences. However, this 1.6-liter EcoBoost engine uses a timing belt and does not use a timing chain like the 2.0L EcoBoost engine.

to sum up:

In fact, as early as the Beijing Auto Show, the EcoBoost 1.6L engine appeared. It was only then that it was hidden in the Ford Maverick (known as Escape/Kuga abroad, and the domestic name was Miehu). It was only true at the Paris Motor Show. body. Small-displacement and high-efficiency engines can really meet the needs of the general public in today's era of environmental protection, and the high-power version of the SUV model will not feel weak. It is reported that next year, the new Mondeo and Wing Tiger will be equipped with this engine in the domestic production.
