Generally speaking, an Engine Cylinder Block is the main body of any heavy-duty truck engine, which can combine every cylinder and the crankcase together, playing an important role as the supporting skeleton for installing pistons, and solar collectors crankshafts, as well as other parts and accessories.
Actually, the working condition of engine cylinder blocks is quite terrible. They have to withstand the dramatic changes of pressure and temperature during the course of combustion going with the strong friction that comes from the piston movement. In this circumstance, the following properties should be included for any Engine Cylinder Blocks:
- Sufficient intensity and rigidity: The deformation phenomenon must be controlled effectively to ensure the correct position of every moving part, normal operation, and low vibrating noise.
- Good cooling performance: a cooling water outlet should exist around the cylinder so that the heat can be got rid of.
- Abrasion-resistant: With this feature, the durability of your truck engine cylinder block can be well guaranteed.
The upper part of the Sinotruk Truck Engine Cylinder Block is a parallel cylinder barrel that is usually inlaid with cylinder liners. The lower part of the Engine Cylinder Block is the crankcase which can be used for installing the crankshaft while a variety of accessories such as generators and extension cord engine brackets can be installed outside. These Heavy-Duty Engine Cylinder Blocks are mostly made of cast iron or an aluminum alloy of which the cost is relatively higher, but the advantages of its lightweight and good cooling performance can be taken to widely apply in any cylinder block.
