Respuesta de los motores a nivel del mar

Todos hemos notado que los motores a nivel del mar tienen una respuesta sorprendente, pero nos hemos preguntado el porque de esta situación?, a continuación trataremos de aclarar un poco sobre esto.

El aire tiene un peso, aunque no lo parezca, si imaginamos a la atmosfera como una columna, algo asi como un vaso gigante, tendremos que la presión del aire en la superficie es menor que en el fondo de dicho vaso, trasladando esto al nivel del mar, entonces tenemos que  el peso del aire, presiona de tal manera que se comprime asi mismo a una altura de cero metros, (nivel del mar)

Un ejemplo sencillo de esto, seria imaginar una gran cantidad de cajas apiladas una encima de otra, donde la de abajo recibe todo el peso.

Y la caja superior seria la montaña mas alta como el Everest, que tiene una altura de 8.5 kms donde la presión de la atmósfera es tan poca, que se requiere mascaras de oxigeno para respirar.

De esto podemos deducir que el gasto de gasolina en ciudades muy altas como Toluca, sea mucho mayor y la respuesta de los motores sea mas pobre.

Recordando la ley de los gases, tenemos que se pueden comprimir o expandir en presencia o ausencia de una fuerza que se le aplique.

Ahora bien si todo esto lo trasladamos a los motores, tenemos que a nivel del mar, el peso de la atmosfera ejerce una presión dentro de los motores, algo asi como un turbo natural, y esto ocasiona que una mayor densidad de moléculas de oxigeno, entren a la cámara de combustión, obteniendo una mezcla mas rica en oxigeno y por ende el motor compensa esto agregando mas gasolina. Al comprimir los pistones esta mezcla mas rica, la explosión resultante es mas fuerte y por ende genera mas potencia.

Existen efectos adversos al manejar a nivel del mar?

Básicamente como hace mas calor a nivel del mar, entre los trópicos, el aceite sufre mas este aumento en la temperatura, y por ende su rango de vida se acorta. La sugerencia para el mantenimiento del motor a nivel del mar es revisar el estado del aceite y hacer el cambio correspondiente, si lo requiere y revisar el nivel de anticongelante en el motor, ya que puede haber evaporación.

CAMARO DELIVERS MORE IN 2013

Performance and technology lead the list of upgrades

Since it roared onto the street in 1967 Camaro has been a force to be reckoned with — the epitome of what a performance car should be.

With the introduction of the Fifth Generation in 2010 Camaro continued the cross breading of jaw-dropping design, raw power and the latest technology. Nothing represented that more than the ZL1 — inspired by the legendary 1969 Camaro with its all-aluminum racing engine, made available to the public for the first time in 2012.

Now Camaro is ready to make history again with the introduction of the ZL1 Convertible. It has all the power, performance and fighter plane sophistication that has wowed enthusiasts — minus the top. Also new in 2013 is the Camaro SS 1LE Performance Package — a heart and mind meld of the SS with unique ZL1 features. There’s also the connectivity and entertainment of Chevrolet MyLink^† — now available on every 2013 Camaro that tears out of the dealership parking lot.

For 46 years Camaro drivers — and those who long to join the club — have pushed us to deliver power, performance and technology. It’s what they’ve come to expect. And it’s exactly what we’re delivering again in 2013.

Camaro ZL1 Convertible

It’s the most technologically advanced Camaro ever. And now you have the option to drop the top in about 18 seconds flat. Introducing the Camaro ZL1 Convertible.

Feel the thrust produced by an all-aluminum 6.2L supercharged engine that packs 580 horsepower and 556 lb.-ft. of torque. Experience the excitement the performance that comes with the third generation of Magnetic Ride Control, world-class braking and four-wheel independent suspension that you can’t get on a Mustang.

Inside you’ll find a cockpit packed with more technology than ever before, including the Heads-Up Display that projects performance data right to the windshield and a 7-inch diagonal radio touch-screen. You’ll also enjoy the latest in connectivity, information and entertainment of Chevrolet MyLink^†.

There’s no doubt that getting behind the wheel, dropping the top and hitting the gas is the best way to experience this beast.
