IC Engine Components Overview

The document summarizes key components of an internal combustion engine: 1. The engine block houses the pistons and allows them to move back and forth to develop power. 2. The cylinder head seals the cylinder block and controls the opening and closing of inlet and exhaust valves using camshafts. 3. Piston rings help reduce leakage of compressed gases and oil, improving engine efficiency.

Lecture 3 – IC Engine Components

1. Engine Block/Cylinder Block


• It is a container fitted with piston where the fuel is burnt and power is produced.
• It is one of the most important part of an engine in which the piston moves to and fro in order
to develop power.
• Its main function is to guide piston
2. Cylinder Head
• It comprises inlet and exhaust valves, spark plug, fuel injectors
• Its main function is to seal the cylinder block and not to allow entry and exit of gases in cover
head valve engine
4. Piston Rings
• Compression rings prevent the leakage of compressed gases into the lower portion
• Oil rings provide efficient seal to prevent leakage of oil into the engine cylinder
Its main function is to reduce the friction between moving parts.
• The part in which cylinders are attached and contains crankshaft and crankshaft bearings
• Sometimes it is called oil sump
• All the oil for lubrication is placed in it
• Are used to control the inlet and exhaust of IC engines
• Number of valves depends on the number of cylinders. Two valves are used for each
cylinder- one for inlet of air-fuel mixture and another for exhaust of combustion gases
• Its main function is to supply fuel-air mixture and collect the exhaust gases equally from all
cylinders.
• It is used to control the opening and closing of valves at proper timing.
• It is used to maintain speed fairly constant
• It is turned by storing excess energy during the power stroke
