IC Engine
Lets watch a video.
Main components of IC Engine

❑Stationary parts

❑Moving parts
Stationary Parts
❑Cylinder block

❑Crankcase

❑Cylinder head

❑Exhaust and intake manifold


Stationary Parts
1. Cylinder block: The cylinder block
is the foundation of the engine. The
cylinder block provides the smooth
cylindrical bores in which the piston
moves to and fro in order to
develop power. Most blocks are
cast from grey cast iron or iron
mixed with other metals such as
nickel & chromium and aluminum
alloy.
Stationary Parts
2. Crankcase: It is cast integral
with the cylinder block or bolted
to it, is used to mount the main
engine bearings, and thus support
the crankshaft. It has two parts.
Upper and lower crankcase.

3. Cylinder head: A detachable


unit of an engine bolted to the top
of the cylinder block. It contains:
Valves, spark plug, intake and
exhaust manifold.
Stationary Parts
4. Intake manifold: Intake Manifolds
are basically pipes used in automobile
fuel supply system that are used for
carrying and distributing fuel to
internal combustion engine cylinder. In
case of petrol engine, cylinder receive
the air fuel mixture through intake
manifold during suction. In case of
diesel engine cylinder receive air
through the intake manifold during
suction stroke.
Stationary Parts
5. Exhaust manifold: Exhaust
manifold connects all the engine
cylinder together with the
exhaust system. The waste
products of combustion are
expelled to the atmosphere by
the exhaust manifold. It must be
fitted opposite to the fuel supply
to avoid the fire risk.
Moving Parts

❑Crankshaft.
❑Connecting rod.
❑Piston.
❑Cam and Camshaft.
❑Valve.
❑Fly Wheel
Moving Parts
1. Crankshaft: It is considered as the
backbone of an engine whose
function is to covert the reciprocating
motion of the piston into rotary
motion with the help of connecting
rod.
2. Flywheel: It is heavy big wheel and
bolted to the rear end of the
crankshaft between the engine and
the transmission. Flywheel stores
energy from the power strokes and
smoothly delivers it to the drive train
of the vehicle and to avoid the rough
running of the engine.
Moving Parts
3. Piston : The piston is a
cylindrical plug that moves up
and down in the engine cylinder
and receives the energy or force
of combustion and transmits
that energy to the crankshaft
through the connecting rod. The
pistons are generally made of
aluminum alloys.
4. Connecting rod: It connects
the piston with the crankshaft.
Moving Parts
5. Cam and Camshaft: It is used for
changing rotary motion into linear
motion. It controls the opening and
closing of the intake and exhaust
valve as required.

6. Valve: Valve admits air fuel


mixture into the cylinder during
intake stroke and discharge brunt
gases during exhaust stroke. It
remains closed during compression
and power stroke to seal the
combustion chamber tightly.
