Four Cylinder Gas Engine

Engine-Function of Imporntant Parts in Internal Combustion Engine Internal Combustion Engine Any of a group of devices in which the reactants of combustion (oxidizer and fuel) and the products of combustion serve as the working fluids of the engine. Such an engine gains its energy from heat released during the combustion of the nonreacted working fluids, the oxidizer-fuel mixture.

Cylinder Block Is an integrated structure comprising the cylinder(s) of a reciprocating engine and often some or all of their associated surrounding structures (coolant passages, intake and exhaust passages and ports, and crankcase)

Cylinder Head In an internal combustion engine, the cylinder head (often informally abbreviated to justhead) sits above the cylinders on top of the cylinder block. It closes in the top of the cylinder, forming the combustion chamber. This joint is sealed by a head gasket. In most engines, the head also provides space for the passages that feed air and fuel to the cylinder, and that allow the exhaust to escape.

Piston Component of reciprocating engines, reciprocating pumps, gas compressorsand pneumatic cylinders, among other similar mechanisms. It is the moving component that is contained by a cylinder and is made gas-tight by piston ring.

Piston Rings A split ring that fits into a groove on the outer diameter of a piston in areciprocating engine such as an internal combustion engine or steam engine.

Connecting Rod Connects the piston to the crank orcrankshaft. Together with the crank, they form a simple mechanism that converts linear motion into rotating motion.

Gudgeon Pin The gudgeon pin is typically a forged short hollow rod made of a steel alloy of high strength and hardness that may be physically separated from both the connecting rod and piston or crosshead.

Crank Pin Hand over the power and motion to the crank shaft which come from piston ring through connecting rod.

Crank Shaft Part of anengine that translates reciprocating linear piston motion into rotation. To convert the reciprocating motion into rotation, the crankshaft has "crank throws" or "crankpins", additional bearing surfaces whose axis is offset from that of the crank, to which the "big ends" of the connecting rods from each cylinder attach.

Cam Shaft Receives oscillating motion from connecting rod and gives a rotary motions to the main shaft.

Inlet Valve and Exhaust Valve Inlet Valve allows the fresh charge of air-fuel mixture to enter the cylinder bore.Exhaust Valve permits the burn gases to escape from the cylinder bore at proper timing.

Governor It controls the speed of engine at a different load by regulating fuel supply in diesel engine.

Carburator A device that blends air and fuel for an internal combustion engine.

Fuel Pump A frequently (but not always) essential component on a car or other internal combustion engined device.

Spark Plug A device for delivering electric current from an ignition system to the combustion chamber of a spark-ignition engine to ignite the compressed fuel/air mixture by an electric spark, while containing combustion pressure within the engine.

Fuel Injector A system for admitting fuel into an internal combustion engine. It has become the primary fuel delivery system used in automotiveengines, having replaced carburetors during the 1980s and 1990s.
