Compression Ratios

[Jahee]

What do they mean?

Like 11:5:1 or something, in terms or cars, what is it 11 atmospheres in the cylinder or what? Something i've never understood...

A ratio doesn't have units. 😕

It doesn't compare pressure. It compares volume. You take X amount of volume and squish it down to Y amount of volume. The ratio is X:Y and its unitless.

Oh right... so in a ratio of 11:5:1, 11 is when the piston is at the bottom of its stroke and 5 is where its at the top? i thought it was the other way round, like 11 atmospheres at the top of the stroke and 5 at the bottom if u see what i mean.. what would the 1 mean?

I never did quite grasp ratios with 3 figures back in school.. 😕

Thats because there aren't three separate numbers. You're thinking of 11.5:1 as opposed to 11:1 or 12:1...its just halfway in between.
