The Piston Body with a band is a design that incorporates a metal band or rings around the piston's crown. This design enhances the performance and efficiency of the piston in certain engine configurations. The band is to improve the sealing properties of the piston in the combustion chamber. It creates a tighter seal between the piston and the cylinder wall, minimizing gas leakage and improving combustion efficiency.
Attributes:
• Withstands high temperatures and pressures during combustion
• Reduces friction and wear against the cylinder walls
• Enhanced sealing minimizes blow-by and gas leakage, leading to improved combustion efficiency and reduced energy losses
• Provides low compression ratio benefits to an increase in volumetric efficiency, lower temperatures of the air-fuel mixture at the time of ignition
Applications:
The Piston Body with the band is used in the assembly of the Piston and Connecting Rod to reduce piston slap and mechanical noise, leading to quieter engine operation, and protecting the piston crown from excessive wear and thermal stress.
