precompression
Preliminary pressure application
Precompression is compression applied before a main process or load.
In engine design, precompression refers to the initial compression of fuel-air mixture before it enters the main combustion chamber.
In construction, concrete or soil may undergo precompression to increase stability before bearing structural weight.
The prefix signals preparation: The precompression stage readies the mixture for ignition.
