    IC engines – Components -

    Functions and Materials

    Lecture – 9
    06.01.17
    Engine components and its function

    Cylinder head
    The main function of cylinder is to guide the piston.
    Material :
    • Grey cast iron – Wear and Corrosion
    • Aluminium alloy – Aluminium –silicon - Better casing properties
    Cast iron is mainly used because of the following advantages:

    • It is a good foundry material


    • It has high machinability
    • It does not wrap under the high temperature and pressures
    developed in the cylinders
    • Due to its slightly porous nature, it retains better the lubricating oil
    film
    • It does not wear too much
    • It has sound - damping properties
    • It has a low value of coefficient of thermal expansion
    • It is relatively cheap.
    Cylinder head
    • The main function of cylinder head is to seal the cylinder block and
    not to permit entry and exit of gases on cover head valve engine.
    Types:
    • Loop flow type cylinder head
    • Off set cross – flow type cylinder head
    • In-line cross-flow type cylinder head
    Pistons
    Functions:
    • To transmit the force of explosion to the crankshaft.
    • To form a seal so that the high pressure gases in the combustion
    chamber do not escape in to the crankcase.
    • To serve as guide and a bearing for small end of the connecting rod.
    Material:
    Cast iron and aluminium alloy (Aluminium – silicon)
    Advantages of aluminium alloy:
    • Three time lighter than cast iron
    • Higher thermal conductivity
    Disadvantages:
    • It is not as strong as cast iron (Hence thicker section have to be is
    used)
    Piston rings
    Functions:
    • Prevention of leakage of gas into the crank case.
    • Prevention of lubricating oil film
    • Prevention of lubricant entry into the combustion chamber above the
    piston head.
    • Removing unnecessary and excessive lubricating oil from cylinder
    wall.
    • Prevention of carbon deposit and other impurities.
    • Easy transmission of heat from piston to cylinder wall.
    • Balancing of side thrust of the piston
    Piston rings are made of cast iron of fine grain and high elastic
    material which is not affected by the working heat. Sometimes it is
    made by alloy spring steel.
    Compression ring , Oil ring
    Connecting rod
    The function of connecting rod is to convert the reciprocating
    motion of the piston in to the rotary motion of the crankshaft.
    Material:
    • Drop forging of steel or duralumin.
    • Malleable or Spheroidal graphite cast iron.
    Crank shaft
    The function of crank shaft is receives the efforts or thrust
    supplied by piston to the connecting rod and converts the
    reciprocating motion of piston into rotary motion of crankshaft
    Material:
    • Forging steel
    • Spheroidal graphitic
    • Nickel alloy castings
    Crankcase (or) Oil sump (or) Oil pan
    The main body of the engine to which the cylinder are attached
    and which contains the crankshaft and crankshaft bearing is called
    crankcase.
    Function:
    • To store the oil for the engine lubricating system.
    • To collect the return oil draining from the main bearings or from the
    cylinder walls.
    • To serve as a container in which any impurities or foreign matter.
    • To enable the hot churned up lubricating oil to settle for a while
    before being circulated.
    • To provide for cooling of the hot oil in the sump by transfer of heat
    to the outside air stream.
    Material:
    • Pressed steel sheet
    • Aluminium alloy casting (stiffness & rigidity) – higher thermal
    conductivity.
    Valves
    • To control the inlet and exhaust of internal combustion engine,
    valves are used.
    • Two valves are used for each cylinder one for inlet of air-fuel
    mixture inside the cylinder and other for exhaust of combustion
    gases.
    Spark plug
    • It is used in spark ignition engine. The main function of a spark plug
    is to conduct the high potential from the ignition system into the
    combustion chamber to ignite the compressed air fuel mixture.
    Injector
    • Injector is usually used in compression ignition engine. It sprays the
    fuel into combustion chamber at the end of compression stroke. It is
    fitted on cylinder head.
    Manifold
    • The main function of manifold is to supply the air fuel mixture and
    collects the exhaust gases equally form all cylinder.
    • In an internal combustion engine two manifold are used, one for
    intake and other for exhaust.
    • They are usually made by aluminium alloy.
    Camshaft
    • Camshaft is used in IC engine to control the opening and closing of
    valves at proper timing.
    • It is drive by the timing belt which drives by crankshaft.
    • It is placed at the top or at the bottom of cylinder.
    • They are usually made by cast iron with an addition of 1% chrome.
    Flywheel
    • The main function of flywheel is to rotate the shaft during
    preparatory stroke.
    • It also makes crankshaft rotation more uniform.
    They are usually made by cast iron.
