What are the arrangement forms of cylinder blocks?
1 Answers
Cylinder blocks have the following arrangement forms: 1. In-line (L-type): All cylinders are arranged in the same angle and in a single plane, using only one cylinder head; 2. V-type arrangement: All cylinders are divided into two groups, with adjacent cylinders arranged at a certain angle to form a V-shaped plane; 3. W-type arrangement: Consists of two small V configurations forming a large V shape, with two V-type engines sharing one crankshaft; 4. H-type arrangement: Refers to cylinders arranged at a 180-degree angle; 5. VR arrangement: Refers to engines with a 15-degree angle between cylinders. The cylinder block is the main body of the engine, connecting all cylinders and the crankcase into one unit, serving as the supporting framework for installing pistons, crankshafts, and other components and accessories.
