Here are some commonly used terms in Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) technology:
Cylinder: A cylindrical component in which the combustion of fuel and air takes place.
Piston: A component that moves up and down in the cylinder and helps in the conversion of pressure into mechanical work.
Crankshaft: A component that converts the reciprocating motion of the piston into rotary motion.
Valve: A component that controls the flow of air and fuel into the cylinder and exhaust gases out of the cylinder.
Spark Plug: A component that provides the spark to ignite the fuel-air mixture in the combustion chamber.
Camshaft: A component that operates the valves by converting rotary motion into linear motion.
Fuel Injection System: A system that injects the fuel into the combustion chamber in a controlled manner.
Exhaust System: A system that removes the exhaust gases from the engine to the atmosphere.
Ignition System: A system that generates the spark to ignite the fuel-air mixture in the combustion chamber.
Lubrication System: A system that lubricates the moving components of the engine to reduce friction and wear
