A piston ring is a crucial component in internal combustion engines and steam engines. Let’s dive into its functions and design:
Heat Transfer and Lubrication: Piston rings also play a role in improving heat transfer from the piston to the cylinder wall. Additionally, they help regulate engine oil consumption by scraping excess oil from the cylinder walls back to the sump.
Sealing the Combustion Chamber: Piston rings are attached to the outer diameter of a piston. Their primary purpose is to seal the gap between the piston and the cylinder wall.
