What is the principle of a cylinder pressure gauge?
1 Answers
The principle of a cylinder pressure gauge: When gas pressure enters the curved tube, the tube straightens, thereby driving the pointer on the dial through a lever and gear mechanism to indicate the gas pressure level. A cylinder pressure gauge is a specialized gas pressure gauge, typically composed of a pressure gauge head, tube, one-way valve, and connector. The pressure gauge head is mostly of the Bourdon tube type, with its driving element being a flat tube bent into a circular shape—one end is fixed, and the other is movable. Reasons for high cylinder compression pressure: 1. Excessive oil entering due to carbon deposits; 2. Overly rich air-fuel mixture causing the engine temperature to be too low; 3. Incomplete combustion over a long period and poor exhaust flow.
