    This document describes the history and evolution of reciprocating engines. The first reciprocating engines were developed in the 1860s and used compressionless explosions. Later, the four-stroke cycle with pre-compression was adopted. Reciprocating engines are now classified according to their configuration, such as inline, V, radial, or opposed. Each configuration has advantages and disadvantages depending on your application.

    HISTORY AND EVOLUTION

    OF THE
    RECIPROCAL ENGINES

    It is a machine that converts thermal energy


    in mechanical strength
    Reciprocating engines found development in the
    1960s with Textron
    Lycoming and Continental motors

    ijñ]Ly
    Lenoir's gas engine (1860)
    which operated with
    explosions, but without
    compression, was the first
    industrial engine.
    Then the pre-compression
    engine and 4-stroke cycle defined by Beau de Rochas
    (1862) and carried out by Nicolaus Otto (1878).
    Later, with previous studies, it was demonstrated
    that the engines should be multi-cylinder, it is
    Therefore, different ones begin to develop
    engine configurations
    RECIPROCAL ENGINES
    Depending on their configuration they can be:

    “V” engine

    Radial Opposite
    RADIAL ENGINES

    Also called star motors, they are


    whose cylinders are arranged on axes
    radial
    FUNCTIONING

    the arrangement of its cylinders and transmission


    of movement makes them different from others
    engines as is the case of engines in
    line.
    These require a short one or two journal crankshaft. In
    As for the number of cylinders there are 3-5-7-9 in a plane.
    There are 18 cylinders but these are in two planes
    This engine has the problem of holding 3-5-7-9 connecting
    rods in
    a single stump. For this a master connecting rod is used
    other articulated connecting rods being coupled to it
    The main connecting rod
    executes the same movement
    as a common connecting rod,
    unlike the articulated one, it
    follows a slightly different
    trajectory due to
    because the fixation point is not
    in the center of fixation of the
    stump
    of the crankshaft
    The cooling system can be air or
    by water but given its application the usual thing is that
    either by air, the principle is preferably used
    pre-compression and 4-stroke cycle
    The cylinders are located
    in a straight line on a
    common crankshaft that is
    immediately below the
    cylinders

    VU00
    Typically available in 4, 5 and
    6 cylinders, the inline engine is a combustion engine
    internal with all the cylinders aligned in the same row,
    without travel. Has been used
    in automobiles, locomotives and airplanes
    The online engine is easier to build
    It also provides greater visibility to the pilot and
    improvement of the center of gravity. Such is the case
    of the one developed by Renault with 6 cylinders and used
    at the Stampe
    IN “V”

    The cylinders are arranged


    in line, forming a V on a
    common crankshaft.
    A combustion engine
    arrangement is called a V
    engine in which the cylinders
    are grouped in two blocks of
    rows of cylinders, where they
    form a letter "V", and which
    converge on the same
    crankshaft.
    OPPOSITE ENGINE

    It has its cylinders placed in two


    horizontal rows with the crankshaft in
    center
    An opposing engine has two banks of cylinders
    located on the sides of the crankcase, one opposite
    of the other. It can be air or liquid cooled,
    but air-cooled ones are the predominant ones
    This type of engine is mounted with the crankcase in position
    horizontal in airplanes, but can be mounted with
    the crankcase vertically in helicopters.
    Due to the arrangement of the cylinders, the reciprocating forces
    tend to cancel each other out, resulting in good functioning
    the motor. Unlike the radial engine, it does not suffer from any
    lock problem
    RECIPROCING ENGINE PARTS
    The basic parts that make up a reciprocating engine assembly are
    essentially the same, although engines vary in size, model, type and
    designation. These pieces are:

    ^ Carter

    *> Cylinders

    *> Pistons or plungers

    • Cranks

    *> Crankshaft *> Valves and


    their mechanisms

    *> Bearings or Bearings


    SUMP
    It is the base or foundation of Rocker arm that opens the
    valves
    Pusher

    the engine to which all the axis on which


    they tilt
    ba lancines

    parts or components of the Nut for


    adjusting
    rocker arms

    engine are attached. They are Valve


    closing
    spring
    intake ducts

    commonly constructed of
    aluminum, magnesium
    alloys, forged or cast. Housing for the thermostat that
    regulates the cooling water
    The combustion chambers are on the
    underside of the cylinder head,
    sometimes in the head of the piston.
    MAIN SECTIONS OF THE
    SUMP

    ✓ nose section
    ✓ Power section
    ✓ Induction or supercharger section
    ✓ Accessories section
    NOSE SECTION

    Also called the front, it houses the thrust bearing of


    the propeller and in some engines it can be the
    housing of the Carter or section of
    accessorie
    s
    POWER SECTION

    It is the main section in which the


    crankshaft bearings and coupling bases
    of the cylinders.
    INDUCTION SECTION OR
    SUPERCHARGER

    Commonly placed at the bottom of the


    power, has adaptation holes for the
    intake pipes and for the pressure gauge
    Manifold indication

    FUEl 'LOW
    SECTION OR BOX
    ACCESSORIES
    Commonly attached to the
    power section, it houses the
    bearing that supports the
    crankshaft extension that is
    coupled to the accessory gear.
    BUTT

    The cylinder head is a piece of


    cast iron or aluminum in some
    engines, which is placed on top
    of the engine block. Its function
    is to seal the upper part of the
    cylinders to avoid compression
    losses and inappropriate exit of
    exhaust gases.
    It also has two internal ducts: one
    connected to the intake manifold and
    another connected to the exhaust manifold,
    in addition, other holes that allow oil
    circulation.
