How to Understand Cylinder Wall?
1 Answers
Cylinder wall refers to the surface of the engine cylinder wall in an automobile. Due to the effects of high-temperature and high-pressure gases and contact with high-speed moving pistons, the engine cylinder wall is highly susceptible to wear. To improve the wear resistance of the cylinder and extend its service life, different cylinder structural forms and surface treatment methods are employed. During engine operation, the piston rings press tightly against the cylinder wall under the influence of their own elasticity and gas pressure. When the piston moves back and forth within the cylinder, mechanical wear occurs due to relative friction, and the extent of this wear depends on the magnitude of the normal force exerted by the piston rings on the cylinder wall. The cylinder in a car, also known as the engine cylinder, is a cylindrical chamber inside the engine where a piston is driven by the pressure or expansion force of the working fluid. Some special types of engines may have similar but non-cylindrical components. The stress conditions of the cylinder during operation are influenced by many factors, including the pressure difference between the gases inside and outside the cylinder. Additionally, the cylinder must withstand the reaction force from the steam flow when it comes to a stop. Therefore, special attention is required when selecting a cylinder type. Choosing an unsuitable cylinder may not only damage the equipment but also delay work progress.
