12.1 Preparatory Data
Function of cylinder block:
Cylinder block provides the space for gas compression, combustion and expansion and guides piston
movement. It also transfers part of heat in the cylinder to surrounding coolant.
Function of piston:
1. Piston can bear the pressure generated by combustion of mixed combustible gas in the cylinder and transmit
the pressure to connecting rod to drive crankshaft to rotate.
2. It forms a combustion chamber with cylinder head.
Precautions on Operation
All the components shall be cleaned before inspection and test, and purged with high-pressure air.
