The Major Components of an Engine


 
Automotive
To put something in to motion you need to install an engine inside it. Whether it is the electric motors, a pumping machine or an automobile without an engine these things won’t work at all. Life of any kind of machinery depends on the quality of engine. The more is the longevity of the engine, the more will be the duration of the machine.

An engine is made up of different components. To begin with, it is the piston that is placed inside the cylinder. The number of pistons present inside a machine depends upon the purpose for which the machine is being used. In a lawn mover there is usually one piston where as cars have more than one cylinder that is multi cylinder where the engines are usually inline, V-shaped or is flat. Some of the other engine parts that are equally important are given below:

Spark plug: The plug helps to ignite the mixture of air and fuel so that the necessary combustion takes place. It is important that the spark should happen just at the right time.

Piston and piston rings: It is a type of cylindrical metal that moves up and down with the cylinder. The piston rings on the other hand create a sliding seal between the inner and the outer edge of cylinder. They also prevent oil from getting leaked in the combustion area.

Connecting Rod: It connects the piston with the crankshaft in order to rotate both the ends. A crankshaft revolves the piston in a circular motion.

Valves: There are two types of valves. One is the intake and the other is the exhaust valve. Both these valves help to maintain the proper inflow of air and help to clean out the impure air through the exhaust valves.

Manufacturers of engineering parts always release their products in the market after effective verification. Some of them also receive a certification or get licenses. Hence, before purchasing any type of engine parts you should always see that the product is properly certified.

As far as the engine of a car is concerned you can always take proper care of it by following some simple tips such as during the first 1000 miles you can drive below 88 kmph. It is better to drive the car frequently. Some people have the habit of racing up the car’s engine while starting the car. It is a very bad practice as it degrades the quality of engine especially during winters. While refilling gas in your car you must ask whether they have pump filters or not. Incase they do not have then your car might receive dirty gasoline. You should never fill up your tanks from any such fuel stations whose underground tanks are filled with gasoline. The reason for this is that the accumulation of sediments in the gasoline clogs the fuel filters and the injectors: as a result of which the performance of the engine degrades. Lastly, it is much better to go for car insurance so that you can insure your car is protected against any damage.

Sourcescan Agency is one of the leading automotive parts manufacturers. The company started its operations in 1995 and expertises in providing superior quality engineering parts. With an experience of over a decade in supplying engineering parts the company tries to be one of the best product sourcing company.
