Basic Parts of the Car Engine

Image
  Car engines   are designed around sealed, flexible metal cylinders. Most modern vehicles have between 4 and 8 cylinders, but some can have up to 16! The cylinders open and close at the correct time to introduce fuel combined with a spark from internal combustion and to release the exhaust gases produced. Although there are multiple components on the engine, we have compiled a list of the most   important car basic engine parts   and their functions to power your vehicle. Engine block This is the heart of the  vehicle engine . Usually made of aluminum or iron, it has several holes to house the cylinders and provide a flow path for water and oil to cool and lubricate the engine. The oil path is narrower than the water path. The engine block also contains the pistons, crankshaft, camshaft, and 4 to 12 cylinders — in a straight line, also known as inline, flat, or V-shaped, depending on the vehicle. Pistons Pistons are cylindrical devices with a flat surface on to...

How To Identify Your Forklift Engine

Image
  The most common type of   forklift engine   is the internal combustion engine, in which fuel is burned in an enclosed space to create the pressure that turns the piston. These types of engines usually use natural gas or diesel fuel. LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) is also used as an alternative fuel for these types of engines in some countries because of its lower cost compared to other fuels and applications. Ever need to ask, “What is the engine in my forklift?” If your forklift has a nameplate, the easiest solution is to gather the model and serial numbers of your machine and then Google for the correct engine specifications. If you can’t find the correct spec sheet, contact the forklift manufacturer or your local dealer for assistance. If not, don’t worry! We have a solution. What type of fuel does your engine accept? First, we need to determine the type of fuel your truck is running. Look at the fuel tank cap and there should be a warning sticker decal indicating the...

What engines do semi trucks have?

Image
  Trucks , also known as cargo vehicles and generally referred to as lorries, are vehicles that are primarily used for the transport of goods or sometimes for towing other vehicles and belong to the category of commercial vehicles. They can generally be divided into heavy-duty and light-duty vehicles according to their weight. The vast majority of vans are powered by diesel engines, and since their introduction into passenger cars in the late 1980s, oil engines have become a staple of the ‘work truck’ industry. Diesel engines are the common choice for commercial trucks. Diesel is not petrol; unlike conventional internal combustion engines, diesel engines rely more on a very high compression ratio to ignite the fuel. This greatly improves fuel efficiency compared to its petrol counterpart of the same size. Diesel engines also produce twice the torque of petrol engines and rev considerably lower, making them ideal for heavy trailer work. cabover dump truck for sale Performing well at...

Diesel Equipment Vital to the Agricultural Sector

Image
  U.S. agriculture is one of the most productive and economically valuable in the world; higher yields in less time and with fewer inputs, thanks to advances in the machinery and equipment used to plant, harvest, and tend the land. Today,   diesel engines   power most of the agricultural equipment( Farm Equipment, Trucks for Transportation, Agricultural Revolution, etc. in the United States and around the world that is necessary to grow and harvest crops and deliver them to market or for processing and then ultimate delivery to consumers. In the United States, diesel engines power more than two-thirds of all farm equipment, transporting 90 percent of its produce and pumping one-fifth of its water. Ninety-six percent of the large trucks that transport agricultural products to railroad hubs and warehouses are powered by diesel engines. The freight locomotives, marine inland grain barges and ocean-going vessels that transport these products to domestic and international mark...
