Injini ka-Koenigsegg engu-2.0 L 3-cylinder yenza kanjani amandla angu-600 amahhashi uStephen Edelstein STEPHEN EDELSTEIN MHLAKA 4 APRIL 2020

The I-Gemera ye-Koenigsegg iyi-hypercar enezihlalo ezine ekwazi ukwenza u-0-62 mph ngemizuzwana engu-1.9, kodwa mhlawumbe into emangalisa kakhulu ngalo mkhumbi werokhethi waseSweden u-2.0-litre twin-turbocharged inline-3, okwenza amahhashi angu-600 amangalisayo (kanye 443 pound-izinyawo ze-torque).

Jason Fenske at Ubunjiniyela buchaziwe inemininingwane yokuthi i-Koenigsegg iwakhiphe kanjani amandla angaka enjinini encane kangaka. Iqala ngamasilinda. Angeke abe maningi, kodwa makhulu kakhulu. Empeleni makhulu kunamasilinda e-Koenigsegg engu-5.0-litre V8, kuphawulwe uFenske.

U-Koenigsegg uphinde wadayela le njini kwaze kwaba ku-11. Ama-turbos ayo angamawele akhiqiza i-boost enkulu (29 psi) kodwa, njengenjini eshisekela ngokwemvelo, i-3-cylinder ingabuye inyukele phezulu. I-Redline iku-8,500 rpm. Lokho kusho ukuthi ama-piston ahamba ngokushesha okukhulu. Ijubane licishe lifane nelezinjini zamanje zeFormula One, ngokusho kukaFenske.

Injini engu-3-cylinder isebenzisa i-Koenigsegg's cam-less I-FreeValve uhlelo. Lokhu kuvumela ukulawula okukhulu ekusebenzeni kwe-valve, kunikeze amathuba amaningi okwenza amandla. Okubi kuyinkimbinkimbi, izindleko (ngeke ubone i-FreeValve ku-Ford Fiesta noma i-Mini Cooper noma nini maduze), kanye namandla engeziwe adingekayo ukuze ushayele ama-actuator omoya avula futhi avale ama-valve.

IFreeValve yenze umsebenzi wokusetha onzima we-3-cylinder twin-turbo. Isilinda ngasinye sinesethi eyodwa yamavalvu okukhipha umoya ku-turbo ngayinye. I-FreeValve ivumela enye yalawo ma-valve ukuthi ihlale ivaliwe nge-rpm ephansi, okusho ukuthi kusetshenziswa i-turbo eyodwa kuphela. Lokho kuvumela i-turbo eyodwa ukuthi iqhume ngokushesha. Nge-rpm ephakeme, i-valve yesibili iyavuleka bese amagesi aphumayo athunyelwa kuwo womabili ama-turbos.

Ifakwe ngemuva kwezihlalo zangemuva, injini engu-3-cylinder isebenza namamotho kagesi amabili, isamba esingu-1,700 hp. Amanye ala mandla angathunyelwa emasondweni angaphambili nge-torque tube kanye ne-clutch assembly, okwenza iGemera idonsa ngawo wonke amasondo. Iphakethe lebhethri lamahora angu-16.6 kilolowatt lihlinzeka ngogesi, futhi livumela cishe amamayela angu-30 okushayela ngogesi, njengoba kulinganiswa umjikelezo wokuhlola wase-Europe.

Ukukhiqizwa kwe-Gemera kuzokhawulelwa kumayunithi angama-300 ngentengo engashiwongo. Lokho kukhethekile ngisho uma kuqhathaniswa nezinye izimoto ezinkulu, kodwa kusazokwenza i-Gemera ibe i-Koenigsegg ekhiqiza kakhulu kuze kube manje.

I-Koenigsegg isebenza ngenjini engu-400hp (298kW) 1.6L

I-Koenigsegg ikuqinisekisile ukuthi isebenza ngenjini engu-1.6L turbocharged 4-cylinder, kodwa ungalindeli ukuyibona kunoma yiziphi izimoto zabo maduze. Engxoxweni, uChristian von Koenigsegg, umsunguli wale nkampani, ukuqinisekisile ukuthi umenzi wezimoto ezinkulu waseSweden usebenza ngenjini esebenza kahle engu-4-cylinder egameni lenkampani yezimoto yaseShayina iQoros.

“Kumanje sisebenzela injini engu-1.6 litre nenkampani yaseChina iQoros ezokwazi ukukhiqiza amandla angu-400hp (298kW) nangaphezulu,” kusho u-von Koenigsegg. “Izimiso ezifanayo esiklame ngazo izinjini ze-Agera neRegera zingasetshenziswa kulezi zinjini ezincane.”

Lokho kusho ukuthi okwamanje, i-Koenigsegg izobambelela ekukhiqizeni ama-supercars anamandla ngokuhlanya ngezinjini zawo ezinkulu zokugudluza. Ngakho-ke ukusebenzisana kwenjini ye-Koenigsegg/Qoros kuhloswe kuphela njengobufakazi bomqondo kulesi sigaba, umakhi wezimoto waseSweden uzimisele ukukhombisa ukuthi ngobunjiniyela bokucophelela kokukhipha ukushisa enjinini encane kangaka kungagcinwa kubhekwe.

Ukuze kuthuthukiswe ukusebenza kahle kwenjini, i-Koenigsegg isebenzise ama-piston omgunyathi nezinduku zokuxhuma, namavalvu ekhwalithi ephezulu. Nakuba u-von Koenigsegg ebheka ama-compressor kagesi athakaselayo, ayizange iphumelele le phrojekthi njengoba ithathwe "iyinkimbinkimbi, ibiza kakhulu futhi iyasinda".

U-Koenigsegg no-Qros basebenza ndawonye kwamanye amaphrojekthi. Embukisweni wakamuva wezimoto wase-Beijing, i-Qros ne-Freevalve, inkampani engudadewabo ka-Koenigsegg, yethule injini ye-'Qamfree' eqeda ama-camshaft ivuna ubuchwepheshe be-Freevalve's Pneumatic-Hydraulic-Electric-Actuator.
