PISTON TERMINOLOGY  Piston crown is a cylindrical part which tapers to a thinner section.  Piston skirt is a cylindrical part of the piston below the pressure rings, keeping the piston in alignment with the cylinder. It can contain a scraper ring.

CLASSIFICATION & DESIGN Marine diesel engine pistons may be classified as:  Trunk pistons ( small diesel engines ) are cast in one-piece.  Pistons with crosshead ( longer than the previous and used in medium- speed and high-cylinder power engines ) are termed two-piece pistons with detachable crown / composite pistons ( light metal base and steel crown ).

COOLING The piston is oil cooled. Different oil cooling arrangements may exist:

26  splash cooled

PISTON RING TERMINOLOGY  Piston ring is a spring tensioned ring set in grooves in the circumfrernce of a piston that push out against the walls of the cylinder forming a gas tight seal.  Scraper ring is a form of a piston ring fitted to the crankcase end of the piston designed to remove excess lubricating oil from the cylinder walls and return it to the crankcase.  Piston groove is a channel cut in the piston skirt to accomodate a ring. It is made up of the upper surface / groove ceiling and the groove floor / land of the groove / lower surface.

43 8. PISTON RING FUNCTION To give a gas-tight sealing of the clearance between the pidton and the liner.

44 8. PISTON RING FUNCTION To give a gas-tight sealing of the clearance between the pidton and the liner. 9. PISTON RING TYPES*  Single edged ring,  Hooked scraprer ring

PISTON RING TYPES*  Single edged ring,  Hooked scraprer ring  Spring backed oil control ring, 10. PISTON RING MATERIAL* Pistons are made of cast iron and their surfaces are chromium plated. They may be either of inlaid ring type ( with chromium plate inserts ) or ring with bronze inserts.

PISTON RING CLEARANCES Ring gaps or clearances may be of:  butt type,  scrafed type or  lap type

57 12. SEALING* The seal is brought about by the gas pressure above and behind the ring, forcing it downwards against the groove land and outwards against the liner wall.

58

59 12. SEALING* The seal is brought about by the gas pressure above and behind the ring, forcing it downwards against the groove land and outwards against the liner wall. To optimise the sealing:  rings, grooves and liner are to be of the unit size;  rings are to move freely / rings must float;  adequate lubrication ahould exist.
