Eunctional or hard chromium plating (169,175) is a successfljl way of protecting a variety of industrial devices from wear and friction. The most important examples are cylinder liners and piston rings for internal combustion engines. Eunctional chromium deposits must be appHed to hard substrates, such as steel, and are appHed in a wide variety of thicknesses ranging from 2.5 to 500 ]Am. 

Butterfly Valves These valves (Fig. 10-155) occupy less space in the line than any other valves. Relatively tight sealing without excessive operating torque and seat wear is accomphshed by a variety of methods, such as resilient seats, piston rings on the disk, and inclining the stem to limit contact between the portions of disk closest to the stem and the body seat to a few degrees of curvature. 

The second reason for modification of the displaced volume is that in real world application, the cylinder will not achieve the volumetric performance predicted by Equation 3.4. It is modified, therefore, to include empirical data. The equation used here is the one recommended by the Compressed Air and Gas Institute [1], but it is somewhat arbitrary as there is no universal equation. Practically speaking, however, there is enough flexibility in guidelines for the equation to produce reasonable results. The 1.00 in the theoretical equation is replaced with. 97 to reflect that even with zero clearance the cylinder will not fill perfectly. Term L is added at the end to allow for gas slippage past the piston rings in the various types of construction. If, in the course of making an estimate, a specific value is desired, use, 03 for lubricated compressors and. 07 for nonlubricated machines. These are approximations, and the exact value may vary by as much as an additional. 02 to. 03...

Lubricated cylinders use a separate mechanical lubricator to force feed, in metered droplet form, a very precise amount of lubricant to specified points. This minimizes the amount of lubricant in the cylinder and allows a lubricant most compatible with the gas to be selected without compromising the frame lubrication system. Lubricant is fed to a point or points on the cylinder to service the piston rings and the packing when required. In a few cases, as in air compressors, the packing is lubricated from the crankcase. On some applications involving wet CO7 or H2S m the gas stream, special materials may be avoided if one of the lubrication points IS connected to the suction pulsation dampener.

The limited tractability of the polymer makes processing in conventional plastics form very difficult. Nevertheless the materials have been used in the manufacture of seals, gaskets and piston rings (Vespel-Du Pont) and also as the binder resin for diamond grinding wheels.

For sustained low oil consumption, narrow, deep-groove piston rings conform easily to liner walls. Top compression ring is chrome-plated to condition liners during break-in.

Diesel fuel may contain ash-forming materials in the form of abrasive solids or soluble metallic soaps. These solids cause wear of injection equipment, pistons, piston rings, and liners as well as increasing engine deposits. Ash content is expressed as a percentage of the weight of the original test sample of the fuel when burned to completion m an open container.

Energy lost to mechanical friction has been decreased significantly through a large number of small, incremental improvements. In the typical modern engine, about half of the friction occurs between the cylinder wall and the piston/piston ring assembly. The sidew all contact surfaces of the piston... 

PISTON RINGS are normally cast-iron of the single-piece snap-ring type, although other materials may be used when conditions require. PISTON ROD is carbon-steel, flame-hardened over packing travel area. 

PISTON RINGS are a special carbon material, of the segmental type, held to the cylinder wall by stainless-steel expanders.

The piston rod is manufactured from heat-treated stainless steel and is coated with wear-resistant overlays, such as ceramic, chromium oxide, and tungsten carbide applied by plasma techniques. Piston rod cross-head attachment has mechanical preloading system for the threads. Rider rings and seal rings are manufactured from PTFE filled resins fillers are matched to the gas, piston speed, and liner specifications. Typical fillers are glass, carbon, coke, or ceramic.

A reversible adiabatic process is known as isentropic. Thus, the two conditions are directly related. In actual practice compressors generate friction heat, give off heat, have valve leakage and have piston ring leakage. These deviations...
