Abstract Taking the combustor composite structure of a high-strength diesel engine as the main research object, dedicated tests have been conducted to verify the accuracy of three distinct cylinder gasket pressure simulation models. Using the measured cylinder gasket compression rebound curve, a gasket unit has been designed and manufactured. For this unit, the influence of the bolt pretension, cylinder body and cylinder head material on gasket sealing pressure has been investigated systematically in conditions of thermo-mechanical coupling. The results show that the bolt pretension force is one of the most important factors affecting the cylinder gasket More >

Abstract This is the first attempt toward the development of robust design methodology applicable to gaskets as there is no such precedent in the sealing industry. This was achieved by drastically transforming the traditional approach toward the solution to leaking problem. This paper deals with a new all-metal gasket that incorporates strategically located circumferential annular lips that form seal lines with the flanges. The gasket, due to its special shape makes use of the material's spring effect, resulting in sealing performance. This approach is clearly distinct from the traditional one based on material development. By transforming More >
