Precautions on Operation
All the components shall be cleaned before inspection and test, and purged with high-pressure air.
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:
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.
It forms a combustion chamber with cylinder head.
It works as a slide valve to compress regularly fresh mixed gas from crankcase into cylinder and exhaust combustion
gas from the cylinder.
