Ceramic Engine Pistons

Our ceramic pistons ceramic cylinders and billet turbocharger compressor impellers performance diesel engine components set us apart from the competition.

Ceramic engine pistons.

Interest in and experimentation with ceramics in the internal combustion engine ice goes way back. C lube is a thermally cured dry film lubricant designed to provide high pressure lubrication to surfaces subject to sliding rotating or oscillating motion such as piston skirts and gears. I have an invention in i c engine that can make use of ceramic cylinder blocks. Piston crown coating is a surprisingly affordable way to increase engine efficiency horsepower and durability.

First developed in the aerospace industry coatings suffered a tarnished reputation in the early days of automotive use as racers claimed they often flaked off the metal parts they were presumed to protect. C lube dry film ceramic lubricant combines the durability of a ceramic resin with the lubricity of a ceramic lubricant. Piston coatings are no longer the space age snake oils that mystified engine builders a few decades ago. Coated piston skirts provide a dry sliding surface for engine startup and feature increased resistance to abrasion and scratching while moving within the engine block.

In the engine s bottom end dry film lubricants are usually applied to piston skirts engine bearings and the main and rod journals. On the top side dry film lubricants are sometimes applied to. Polydyn rp piston skirt coating is a ceramic reinforced dry film lubricant with a low affinity for oil. As celle van giel has answered that i c engines employing ceramic cylinder block are on the test beds of reputed manufacturers.

What this actually is is a 2 7 liter three cylinder. Ceramic coated pistons can assist higher fuel burning efficiency and reduced carbon accumulation which in turn makes detonation more effective. The pistons move back and. Here is an article on the prospects for an adiabatic turbo diesel from 1987 adiabatic diesel engine technology in future transportation.

But it s kind of a six because every cylinder has two pistons in it. It s often said the internal combustion engines which hold a special love hate place in our heart are basically air pumps and while that s a useful mental model when considering many aspects of how they operate it s more accurate to say. This is an achates power opposed piston engine. The coating is also designed to aid in the more even transfer of heat reducing hot.
