Geely-Volvo’s CEVT says not true that timing chain is superior to belt

Malaysian car buyers shopping in budget car Proton/Perodua range of cars have a peculiar affinity towards the topic of timing chain vs timing belt. Debates can get rather intense and even though nearly every technical literature out there says that there is no such thing as timing chains being superior to timing belts and vice versa. There are many things that one should consider before buying a car, but valvetrain system shouldn’t be on that list. Oddly, the same group of customers don’t ask th

正时链条真的比正时皮带更好吗?

在选购车子的时候,你可能会对车上的某些配备进行比较。引擎排量的大小、煞车的类型、变速箱的类型、有没有配备长距离AEB等等。在决定购车之前,你可能会去对比每一款车上的多种配备。今天,我们来聊聊正时皮带和正时链条。 正时链条和正时皮带都是用来同步凸轮轴和曲轴的旋转角度的。目前绝大多数的引擎都采用顶置凸轮轴(OHC)方案,因此需要用皮带或链条来连接曲轴和凸轮轴。使用顶杆方案的引擎也需要正时皮带或正时链条(但长度可能会更短)。 有人认为正时链条更耐用,所以正时链条更好。也有人认为正时皮带换起来更便宜,运转起来也更安静,所以正时皮带更好。问题在于,在购买一款车子的时候,你并不能够选择它用的是正时皮带还是正时链条。如果你更喜欢另一种正时系统的话,那你只能选择另一款车了。 就拿Perodua Myvi和Proton Iriz来举例子,Myvi采用的是正时链条,而Iriz用的则是正时皮带。这样的区别,会让其中一款车比另一款更好,或者是让其中一款车的维护费用更低吗? 让我们通过几个问题来找出答案。 Q:正时皮带是什么?
