    Compression Stroke

    Uploaded by

    During the compression stroke in an engine, the intake valve closes and the piston moves to the top of the cylinder, called top dead center. The trapped air is compressed, heating it up, with the compression ratio comparing the volume at bottom dead center to top dead center. Most diesel engines have a compression ratio between 13:1 and 20:1, while most gas engines are between 8:1 and 11:1, and one crankshaft revolution completes the intake and compression strokes.

    During the second or compression stroke the intake valve closes, sealing the

    combustion chamber. The piston moves up to its highest point in the cylinder liner,
    called Top Dead Center, or TDC.

    The trapped air is compressed and very hot. The amount of air that is compressed is
    called the compression ratio. The compression ratio of an engine is a comparison of the
    total volume of the combustion chamber when the piston is at the bottom of its stroke
    compared to when it is at the top of its stroke. The compression ratio is a set number; it
    is calculated by dividing the volume of air at BDC by the volume of air at TDC.

    Most diesel engines have a compression ratio between 13:1 (13 to 1) and 20:1 (20 to
    1). Most gas engines have a compression ratio between 8:1 (8 to 1) and 11:1 (11 to 1).

    After completing the intake and compression strokes, the crankshaft has turned 360
    degrees or one complete revolution.
