FAQs

Does the piston shape affect cooling efficiency?

Yes, the piston shape affects cooling efficiency. Concave pistons increase surface area, altering heat conduction paths, facilitating piston cooling, reducing heat stress, and extending piston lifespan.

Why do some pistons have indentations on the top?

Concave pistons offer several advantages in diesel engines. They provide space for fuel injection, enhancing combustion efficiency. The concave design increases turbulence, promoting better diesel-air mixing, improving combustion efficiency, and reducing emissions. Additionally, this design enhances piston cooling, reducing heat stress and extending piston lifespan.

Why don't gasoline direct injection engines have indentations on pistons?

Despite gasoline direct injection engines employing in-cylinder fueling, unlike diesel engines, they typically inject fuel during the intake stroke. Thus, gasoline has sufficient time and space to mix with air during the compression stroke. Gasoline's characteristics prevent premature ignition during compression, hence the lesser impact of piston shape on injection timing.

Does piston shape affect engine performance?

Yes, concave pistons enhance combustion and mixing efficiency, thereby improving engine power output and fuel efficiency. Additionally, piston shape can influence engine noise levels and vibration characteristics.
