Gasoline Engine
Item Name Code (INC) 02914
 |
A reciprocating internal combustion engine, may be with or without container, in which the power necessary to produce motion of the mechanism is obtained by igniting a compressed fuel and air mixture within the cylinder(s) of the machine, by means of introducing an electrical spark into the compression chamber. The engine consists of a cylinder block assembly complete with CYLINDER HEAD, GASOLINE ENGINES(s); OIL PAN(s) and may include attachments or accessories, such as STARTER, ENGINE, GASOLINE; RADIATOR, ENGINE COOLANT; FILTER (1), FLUID; FLYWHEEL, ENGINE; HOUSING, FLYWHEEL or GENERATOR (1), ENGINE ACCESSORY. It does not include a TANK (1), FUEL, ENGINE. For a complete operating power unit mounted on a base, see POWER UNIT (1), GASOLINE. Excludes ENGINE, AIRCRAFT, RECIPROCATING.
Additional Information for Gasoline Engine
Gasoline engines from the supply class "Gasoline Reciprocating Engines, Except Aircraft; And Components" refer to internal combustion engines that are powered by gasoline fuel. These engines are used in various applications such as automobiles, motorcycles, small boats, lawn mowers, and other equipment.
In the supply group "Engines, Turbines, And Components," gasoline engines are categorized as a type of engine. This supply group includes a wide range of engines, turbines, and their components used in various industries such as automotive, power generation, marine, and aerospace.
Gasoline engines typically consist of several components, including:
1. Engine Block: The main structure of the engine that houses the cylinders, pistons, and other internal components.
2. Pistons: Move up and down within the cylinders to compress the air-fuel mixture and convert the energy into mechanical motion.
3. Cylinder Head: Covers the top of the cylinders and contains the intake and exhaust valves, spark plugs, and other components.
4. Intake System: Includes the air filter, throttle body, and intake manifold, which deliver air to the cylinders for combustion.
5. Fuel System: Comprises the fuel tank, fuel pump, fuel injectors, and other components that deliver gasoline to the engine.
6. Ignition System: Consists of the spark plugs, ignition coils, and control module, which ignite the air-fuel mixture in the cylinders.
7. Exhaust System: Collects and directs the exhaust gases out of the engine, typically including the exhaust manifold, catalytic converter, and muffler.
8. Cooling System: Helps regulate the engine temperature using a radiator, coolant, water pump, and thermostat.
9. Lubrication System: Provides oil to lubricate the moving parts of the engine, including the crankshaft, pistons, and camshaft.
10. Electrical System: Powers various components such as the starter motor, alternator, and sensors.
These components work together to convert the chemical energy in gasoline into mechanical energy, which powers the vehicle or equipment. Gasoline engines are known for their relatively simple design, ease of maintenance, and widespread availability of fuel.
It's important to note that the specific components and features of a gasoline engine can vary depending on the application and manufacturer.
