Enkelsylindrede

Enkelsylindrede, also known as single-cylinder engines, are internal combustion engines with a single cylinder. This design is commonly used in small, low-power applications such as lawn mowers, chainsaws, and small outboard motors. The simplicity of the single-cylinder engine makes it easy to manufacture and maintain, as well as relatively inexpensive. However, it also has some limitations. Due to its single cylinder, the engine produces a pulsating torque, which can lead to vibrations and a less smooth operation compared to multi-cylinder engines. Additionally, single-cylinder engines typically have lower power output and are less efficient at higher RPMs. Despite these drawbacks, the single-cylinder engine remains a popular choice for its simplicity and cost-effectiveness in certain applications.
