What are the two major mechanisms and five major systems that make up a gasoline engine?
1 Answers
Gasoline engines consist of two major mechanisms and five major systems. The two major mechanisms are the crank-connecting rod mechanism and the valve train mechanism. The five major systems are the fuel supply system, cooling system, lubrication system, starting system, and ignition system. Below are the characteristics and principles of gasoline engines: 1. In a gasoline engine, the air-fuel mixture enters the cylinder and is ignited by the spark plug when compression is nearly complete. Therefore, gasoline engines require an ignition system to control when the spark plug operates. 2. To ensure the normal operation of the gasoline engine, it is necessary to precisely control the timing of the spark plug discharge and the magnitude of the spark energy. Hence, the fuel supply system and ignition system are the parts with a relatively high proportion of failures.
