Aia he 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, a me 16 mau pahu i hoʻohana mau ʻia i nā ʻenekini kaʻa. No nā kaʻa ʻohana maʻamau, ʻo 3, 4, a me 6 cylinders ka hapa nui. ʻO kaʻoiaʻiʻo, i kekahi ʻano, ʻoi aku ka nui o nā cylinders o ka mīkini, ʻoi aku ka kiʻekiʻe o ke kaʻa. Ma muli o ka helu o nā cylinders e pili ana i ka neʻe ʻana o ka ʻenekini, pili pono ia i ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka wahie a me ka mana.

Ma lalo o ke ʻano o kēia manawa o ka mālama ʻana i ka ikehu a me ka emi ʻana o ka hoʻokuʻu ʻana, ʻo nā hiʻohiʻona i hoʻolako ʻia me nā mīkini V12, V10, a me V8 ke hoʻolauna nei i nā ʻōnaehana turbocharging e hōʻemi i ka nui o nā cylinders. Ma lalo o ke kūlana i hoʻololi ʻole ʻia ka mana a ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi, hoʻemi ʻia ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka wahie a me nā hoʻokuʻu. Hoemi nui.

Ma waho o nā kumu ʻē aʻe, ʻoi aku ka nui o nā cylinders i loaʻa i kahi mīkini, ʻoi aku ka liʻiliʻi o ka haʻalulu i hana ʻia i ka wā e hana ai. ʻO kēia no ka mea ʻoi aku ka nui o nā cylinders i ka hana ʻana i ka hana i kēlā me kēia ʻāpana manawa, ka hopena i ka emi ʻana o ke kihi waena hana. ʻO ka liʻiliʻi, ka mea e hana ai i ka hana ʻoi aku ka paʻa a me ke kūlohelohe. Eia nō naʻe, ʻo nā ʻenekini o kēia lā, ma o ka hoʻomaikaʻi ʻana i nā kaʻina hana hana a me ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā ʻenehana e like me nā shafts balance, ʻoiai he ʻenekini 3-cylinder i hana maikaʻi loa i ke kāohi ʻana i ka vibration.

ʻO ka helu o nā kiwikā ma kēlā me kēia pahu e pili ana i ka helu o nā kiwikā ma kēlā me kēia pahu o ka ʻenekini, me ʻelua kiwikā, ʻekolu kiwikā, ʻehā kiwikā, ʻelima kiwikā, a me ʻeono kiwikā. ʻOi aku ka nui o nā valves, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka lawe ʻana a me ka hoʻopau ʻana. E like me ka holo kaʻawale ʻana, ke luhi ʻoe a me ka ʻūhā, pono ʻoe e wehe i kou waha e hanu, akā ʻoi aku ka paʻakikī o ka mīkini valve, e pili ana i ke ola o ka mīkini. , Exhaust efficiency a me structural complexity, etc., eha-valve 'enehana i kēia manawa i ka loa efficient a me ka hoʻohana nui.

Ma o nā ʻāpana kūpono o ka ʻenekini, hiki iā mākou ke hoʻomaopopo maoli i ka holomua ʻenehana o kahi ʻenekini. Me ka hoʻomohala mau ʻana o ka ʻenehana, e ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka hana mana a me ka hoʻemi ʻana i ka wahie a me nā hoʻokuʻu. Ke hoʻohālikelike ʻia me ka ʻenekini hoʻoheheʻe kūloko maʻamau.
