At what temperature does engine oil burn?
1 Answers
Engine oil burns at around 200 degrees Celsius. If the temperature is too low, it is not conducive to combustion and affects power output. If the temperature is too high, it affects sealing performance, so the temperature needs to be properly controlled. The functions of engine oil are: 1. To separate the relative sliding surfaces of pistons and cylinders, main shafts and bearing bushes to reduce wear. 2. To bring heat back to the oil tank and then dissipate it into the air, helping the radiator to cool. 3. To bring carbides, sludge, and worn metal particles back to the oil tank through circulation, cleaning the working surfaces of parts. 4. To form a seal between piston rings and pistons, reducing gas leakage and preventing contaminants from entering. 5. To adsorb on the surfaces of parts, preventing water, air, acidic substances, and harmful gases from coming into contact with the parts. 6. To cushion the impact load on pistons, piston chips, connecting rods, and crankshaft bearings.
