A Piston ring is a split ring that fits into a groove on the outer diameter of a piston in a reciprocating engine such as an internal combustion engine or steam engine. * The main functions of piston rings in reciprocating engines are:* Sealing the combustion chamber so that there is minimal loss of gases to the crank case. * Improving heat transfer from the piston to the cylinder wall. * Maintaining the proper quantity of the oil between the piston and the cylinder wall * Regulating engine oil consumption by scraping oil from the cylinder walls back to the sump.The gap in the piston ring compresses to a few thousandths of an inch when inside the cylinder bore. Piston rings are a major factor in identifying if an engine is two stroke or four stroke. Three piston rings suggest that it is a four stroke engine while two piston rings suggest that it is a two stroke engine. Most piston rings are made of a very hard and somewhat brittle cast iron. |
