🔍 Key Concepts

• How compression rings interact with both the piston and cylinder liner • What is meant by blow‑by in a diesel engine and how rings affect it • How heat is transferred from the piston to the liner

💭 Think About

• Think about what would happen inside the cylinder if there were NO piston compression rings at all – what three main problems would you see? • Consider whether compression rings are designed to perform only a single specific task, or if their design naturally allows them to perform multiple related functions. • Ask yourself which of the listed choices are genuine effects of having good compression rings, and which might be more of a side‑effect or less significant role.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which choice(s) directly relate to sealing the combustion chamber so pressure is maintained above the piston. • Check which option(s) help reduce gas leakage past the piston (blow‑by) and contamination of the crankcase oil. • Confirm whether heat transfer from piston to liner is a recognized and important function of compression rings in diesel engine theory.
