1. Engine cylinder angle
When not in a plane within the cylinder of the engine, adjacent two cylinder axis angle is called the angle of the cylinder.
common cylinder angle
In the automotive internal combustion engines, we refer to “cylinder angle” is often V-type engine, in which a V-type engine, more common is 60 degrees, an angle of 90 degrees, the angle cylinder horizontally opposed engine is 180 degrees. 60 degree angle is the most optimized design, is the result of countless scientific experiments argued results. Thus most of the V6 engine are using this layout.
lt;
is a special public VR6 engine with 15 degree angle design, so that the volume of the engine is very compact, even transverse engine can meet the design requirements, then the public Release of the W-type engine then corresponds to a V-type engine VR6 two split up product, between two cylinders of the side angle of 15 degrees, and the angle between the two groups of cylinders was 72 degrees.
