Heat is a byproduct of combustion. Both air-cooled and water-cooled engines need to dissipate that heat to keep the engine from running too hot. Can piston rings play a role in managing that heat?

High-output engines live in a world of brutal cylinder pressures, extreme temperatures and razor-thin safety margins, and the humble piston sits at the center of that storm. When power levels climb, ...

Gasoline and diesel engines feature many differences aside from fuel type. Compared to gasoline engines, a diesel is ...

The continuous drive for enhanced efficiency and reliability in modern diesel engines has prompted extensive research into the thermal management of critical components such as pistons. The ...

At the heart of an internal combustion engine lies a series of cylinders, cylindrical chambers that house the fiery combustion process. These cylinders, arranged in various configurations such as ...
