    I designed and helped build a race engine for a friend. We settled for 14.5:1 since we use E85 fuel, but later in testing we found it was no where near knock limited and could of easily opted for 15-16:1, but valve to piston clearance was already challenging as it was due to the large cam. End results were pretty good still.

      The highest boost pressure in PSI is probably in 2018-2019 Mercedes Benz A45 AMG, it's just slightly above 30 PSI from factory, thus it's officially world's most powerful 4-cylinder engine in a production car - over 400 horsepower (420 or so, I don't remember exactly).

    The highest compression ratio I've worked with is 23.5 to 1 in a small, NA desiel engine. The problem is that you start getting into diminishing returns over around 20 to 1 - meaning at some point it takes more energy to compress the air then you get from the extra expansion of the fuel durring combustion.

    • @787brx8
      @787brx8 4 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      A good portion of those diminishing returns is caused by low level knock.

    The Mazda 14:1 compression ratio is misleading because it's Atkinson cycle. The intake valve remains open for a while during the compression stroke, pushing some of the air backwards back out of the intake valve and reducing the amount of air and pressure in the cylinder at the top of the compression stroke. It's more accurately understood to have a 14:1 *expansion* ratio and the *effective* compression ratio is probably more like 12:1. You lose power but gain efficiency with this cycle as you give your explosion more room to expand.

    • @joakimvhes302
      @joakimvhes302 7 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      So basically Mazda made engine that will last longer thanks to lowering expansion pressure, which also lowers the forces on the piston, connection rod and the crankshaft, so they wear off slower. Is that right, or have I just deduced some bullshit?

    • @blurglide
      @blurglide 7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      No- it just gets more energy by letting the explosion expand more. It does this by having, effectively, less displacement and compression than the numbers would suggest. Basically a longer effective power stroke than intake and compression stroke.

    Turbo cars typically have lower compression due to the fact that when they get on boost the cylinder is "overfilled". The "working compression" can be calculated, cylinder head volume and how many atmospheres are crammed into it..........detonation kills engines, some chamber designs can tolerate more compression without causing detonation. Thanks for the video, as always it's informative and well done.

  • @davidblalock9945
    @davidblalock9945 7 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    VisioRacer you are almost correct. Thermal efficiency is not the product of an engine's compression ratio, but its expansion ratio.
    An engine's power output is based solely upon how much air it can pump. Compression is the enemy of efficiency. The higher the compression ratio, the more energy the engine uses just to maintain operation. Expansion ratio on the other hand is key to high efficiency.
    In 2 and 4 stroke engines compression ratio and expansion ratio are unavoidably linked. Fortunately, the gains from expansion ratio are always greater than the losses from compression because of Pascal's law. The 5 stroke engine, invented by Gerhard Schmitz, does not have this limitation. The prototype engine has a 7.5:1 compression ratio and a 15:1 expansion ratio.
    The engine requires 3 cylinders. Two cylinders operate on a 4 stroke cycle, firing 360° out of phase. each in turn exhausts into the 3rd cylinder, which uses a 2 stroke valve timing, and is 180° out of phase of the other two. The ratio of the compression cylinder to the expansion cylinder will determine the overall expansion ratio. This also gives the engine 360° of expansion stroke.
    Also, in reference to the FIA Formula1 rule limiting compression to 18:1, that's referring to total compression. So an engine with a cylinder compression ratio of 12:1 is limited to just 1.5:1 boost compression, while an engine with 9:1 compression is allowed to have up to 2:1 boost compression.
    The thinking behind this rule is that it will improve engine longevity, as it caps the amount of stress the engines can be subjected to. It also forces the teams to make a choice between higher specific efficiency (high compression, low boost) or higher raw power (lower compression, higher boost). Teams will over time find the best balance between the two. This drives innovation and accelerates the rate at which this technology can trickle down into production cars.

    In the '70s, Chrysler brought out an engine, a 318 or 383, (can't recall), that employed a 19-1 compression ratio. It was normally aspirated and my friend's mother drove it for years after buying it new. I was amazed to find the 19-1 cr claim boldly advertised under the hood. We spent an afternoon tuning it up, plugs, filters and fluid changes, added a bit to the a.c. coolant level. I believe that it had about 56,000 miles on it then, and until she died, she never had a bad word to say about it.

    The reason why modern F1 is using compression ratio's up to 18:1, is that the engines are doing HCCI (homgenous charge compression ignition). basicly the engines work like diesels, only burning petrol, so they want the engine to knock, only controlled. mazda is bringing hcci engines on the market in 2019. the benefits of hcci are much higher thermal efficiency, reduced emissions and also able to get more power.

    • @steeler1168
      @steeler1168 7 ปีที่แล้ว +13

      Mr. Petrolhead F1 engines are not HCCI. They are still required by regulation to use a spark plug. The efficiency comes from using a Turbulent Jet Ignition system. A pre-chamber with fuel injector and spark that lights a tiny amount of rich a/f and uses its flames, dispensed from holes around the pre chamber to light the lean mixture from cylinder.

    • @mr.petrolhead5432
      @mr.petrolhead5432 7 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      HCCI engines do have spark plugs, but don't use them all the time, but on a other note, TJI is nearly the same as HCCI, it's something similar to what old diesels had too, it's like one step behind actual HCCI, if you listen to onboard engine sounds from today's f1 you can hear the engine's knocking sound. F1 is going to need to change their rule about ignition to allow HCCI in the future, or they basicly are keeping IC enginges from evolving and getting better, which would make F1 a completly unessesary and uninteresting motorsport formanufacturers for years to come, as HCCI is most likely the way to go in the future

    • @snek9353
      @snek9353 7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    • @no-damn-alias
      @no-damn-alias ปีที่แล้ว

      More than 15:1 doesn't make sense in an engine as it will decrease efficiency above that. A turbo or diesel engine approach that from the top and a petrol from the bottom. Also depens on your application and which load range will be used much. The reason behind that is the adiabatic index in the equation that determines the thermal effeciency of an engine

      @johngialampoukas311 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      3.1×5 equals 15.5. But the result is not CR, is pressure, since you multiply pressure with a dimensionless number and is not correct because 5 has to have an exponent, usually something between 1.3-1.4 .

    A lot of the newer vvt cars and direct injection engines have a physical compression ratio that is way higher than the actual compression ratio, they use late intake valve timing to lower the running comp ratio and make it like a pseudo-Atkinson cycle engine.
    My wife’s 2020 Hyundai accent is that way, but it also has a physical engine displacement of 1.8 liters and only uses 1.6 liters of “intake air” so the power-stroke can have a longer stroke with more efficiency. Car has a terribly weak heater output though, being “too efficient”

    There is a concept called dynamic compression. This is ruled by intake closing degree ABDC. The longer the intake the lower the dynamic compression value, so you need to compensate by increasing the volumetric compression otherwise the engine would not run as intended. Dynamic compression (the real compression value) is always smaller than volumetric compression on NA engines. It gets more complex on boosted engines as it also plays a role how much boost pressure is run. The idea with this is that you need to make space in the combustion chamber (lower volumetric compression) for the extra air/fuel charge so you end up with a decent effective compression ratio.

    I was always taught that lower compression ratio works better with high boost, as in more air and fuel can be crammed into a larger space and reduces stress on pistons and heads. But like the other comments state, I guess it's altered timing that can compensate for a higher compression. Computers are amazing...

    • @SalveMonesvol
      @SalveMonesvol 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      There have been engines pushing 300HP per liter with 10:1 compression, but that's about the limit with normal fuels. F1 engines did 300 per liter naturally aspirated, but that took 20k rpm.
      The the lower your compression ratio, the higher boost you can have. Usually you can go really low, like 7 to 1, and the added boost ends up increasing power despite the loss of efficiency.

  • @63turbo
    @63turbo 7 ปีที่แล้ว +18

    Its probably more accurate to list the actual cylinder pressures the engines operate at, than it is to list compression ratios, because there's numerous factors that allow one engine to run at only 10:1 and another at 12 or 14:1. For example, in NASCAR, the races
    that are run using restrictor plates, the compression ratio might be as high as 19:1, but the
    non restrictor plate races are run at lower compression.... something like 15:1. In 2010,
    F1 was still a N/A configuration, and both F1, NASCAR, and Motogp all ran near identical
    cylinder pressures, despite having different compression ratios.
    An interesting aside... Pro Stock drag racers run higher cylinder pressures than either NASCAR or F1 did when it was still naturally aspirated. The normal way of stating "cylinder
    pressure" is to use Brake Mean Effective Pressure, which is basically the average cylinder
    pressure at the horsepower peak.

      Yes and no, in this age of late intake closing the old compression ratio terminology isn't really accurate. Today we need to separate static compression ratio from dynamic compression ratio, and similarly dynamic compression ratio from expansion ratio. The ratio numbers used in this vid are all likely static compression/expansion ratios. Not the more important dynamic compression ratios.

    • @johngialampoukas311
      @johngialampoukas311 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Though since you don't know the actual valve timings you can't say anything about the dynamic CR. Except that is lower than the static.

      I don't know the exact valve timing any more then I know the BMEP, I'd have to research that. But I can tell you the timing would not only be easier to find but be more important to the topic. BMEP while of course important has a limited range of functionality for a given fuel and quench design.

    When I think of high compression ratios, especially 13.0:1, 12.0:1 or the like, I think of Audi roughly 10 years ago, when they seemed to pioneer that, with the very high-revving 4.2 N/A V8s, (RS4 at that time, and the R8) and the 3.2 V6s in their more upscale A-series... I honestly think that VW was the starter of mainstream high compression ratio engines...

    compression ratio is done by cylinder volume and head displacement, (the bore and stroke volume) and head cc,s, what Mazda is doing is closing the intake valve and exhaust valve timing to reduce cylinder pressure, also check out what is called the Miller cycle where valve timing is changed to reduce compression.

      Alcohol based fuels like the higher compression. Drag cars running on methanol don't typically have a high static CR though, of that around 6:1 to 8:1, but they boost the bejeesus out of the engine with turbos or blowers; upwards of 50psi is common

    • @barath4545
      @barath4545 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Careful with Octane ratings. There are two ways to measure it, RON and MON so the US use an average of RON/MON while Europe use RON only. Hence why American gas is regular at Oct ((RON+MON)/2) 87 and EU is regular at Oct (RON) 92, but they are the same as RONMON 87 = RON 92. And E85 is just 102-105 RON (EU) and 94-96 RONMON (US). E100 is 108 RON and 99 RONMON. You need to go to C16/Import race gas to get 118+ RONMON as even methanol is too low at 108/99 octane. You can run xylene as well but it gets exotic then. Usually the best is Methanol and then you got built-in cooling for your engine as well. Just need more space as you burn more volume of fuel.

    comparing turbo to na on CR is a little bit of a misnomer because it can't alone fully express the volume of the charge and therefore the "true" CR. Regardless, it seems pretty clear 14:1 is the limit for pump prem, which is quite good. however, e85 has become very available and also quite cheap. it, theoretically, could have a CR limit closer to 14.5 or 15. Combine this with a run of the mill water injection system dosing out 90% isopropyl, a liter of which can be bought at any drugstore for 8-10 dollars and should cover 150 miles or more. there's really a very good case to be made for 15:1 in a car that can run well off very available and affordable fuel sources (e85 with iso shot). compare this to race fuel, which I think runs well over 10 a gallon. e85 is 2.20, and a 600 mile range of iso is 36. thats maybe 60 dollars for 14 gallons. compare to 150-200.

    Downside was that CR would blow the heads off or crush the connecting rods since they were not built to take that sort of abuse at normal power output.
    So when you see some claiming they are running their stock engine off of HHO or real hydrogen gas and getting loads of power and high fuel efficiency call them out for the bullshit it is. It ain't happening.
