Power input -提高 or 调高?

[Scoobyqueen]

I attended a lecture on engine management systems the other day on increasing power in an engine. I am sure the text that was meant to be read out said 提高功率 but the speaker said what sounded to me like 调高功率. Surely when you talk about increasing power would you not use 提高?

postedit: sorry headline is wrong it should of course be power output... :-)

Thanks in advance.

i think it depends on context

提高功率 refer to use new technology or something to increase power

调高功率 means that its power is adjustable and u turn it up

hope it helps

That makes perfect sense. Thanks you. They guy doing the talk was reading from the slides and read the wrong word. He must have thought it meant turning up the power but it is indeed increase power through the use of larger engine or tweaking engine management which is then 提高。

Thanks for clarifying!
