In a conventional piston engine, the compression ratio defines the relationship between the largest and smallest volume of a cylinder - when its piston is at bottom dead centre and top dead centre ...

Ever since the first internal combustion engine hit top dead centre, engineers have been locked in an inexorable battle with compression ratios. Too low a compression ratio and the engine's efficiency ...

Last month’s article examined two systems that were experiencing high compressor discharge temperatures. One system had too much refrigerant, while the other had a partially restricted liquid line. In ...
