The Content Of The Piston

The piston is a component in the cylinder block of a car engine that undergoes reciprocating motion. The basic structure of a piston can be divided into a top, a head, and a skirt. The top of the piston is the main part that makes up the combustion chamber, and its shape depends on the selected combustion chamber form. Gasoline engines often use flat top pistons, which have the advantage of a small heat absorption area. The top of diesel engine pistons often have various pits, and their specific shape, position, and size must be adapted to the requirements of the mixture formation and combustion of the diesel engine.
