    The roof has various accessories attached including: Centre vent Allows air to enter and exit the gasholder as the storage volume changes. Roof vents Small nozzle around the periphery used for the installation of the seal. Roof manways Allows access down to the piston fender when the gasholder is full. Circumferential handrailing

    The chain has to be properly matched to the guide bar and the saw. Chainsaw manufacturers specify a selection of suitable chains for each model of saw. Best safety requires that the chain is properly sharpened. One key sharpening parameter is the depth gauge setting. The depth gauge is the small steel protubera

  4. Pent-roof combustion chamber - Wikipedia

    It is similar in concept to the hemi engine, both in design and purpose, but a hemispherical cylinder head is limited to only two valves without the use of a more complex sub-rocker assembly. The four-valve penta engine design was invented by Peugeot of France, [ citation needed ] to be first used in the 1911 Indianapolis 500 race.

  5. Dry gas seal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dry_gas_seal

    The first dry gas seal for a compressor was patented by Kaydon Ring & Seal in 1951 when it was known as Koppers Corporation. Field applications of dry gas seal designs were completed in 1952. The original patent was for Kaydon's "Tapered Ramp" lift geometry, a constant diameter / variable depth dynamic lift design. From that first dry gas seal ...

    The engine user can, in replacing the oil, adjust the viscosity for the ambient temperature change, thicker for summer heat and thinner for the winter cold. Lower-viscosity oils are common in newer vehicles. By the mid-1980s, recommended viscosities had moved down to 5W-30, primarily to improve fuel efficiency.

  7. Seal (mechanical) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seal_(mechanical)

    A seal is a device or material that helps join systems, mechanisms or other materials together by preventing leakage (e.g. in a pumping system), containing pressure, or excluding contamination. The effectiveness of a seal is dependent on adhesion in the case of sealants and compression in the case of gaskets .

  8. Head gasket - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Head_gasket

    In an internal combustion engine, a head gasket provides the seal between the engine block and cylinder head(s). Its purpose is to seal the combustion gases within the cylinders and to avoid coolant or engine oil leaking into the cylinders. [1] Leaks in the head gasket can cause poor engine running and/or overheating.

  9. Chainsaw - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chainsaw

    Chainsaw engines are traditionally either a two-stroke single-cylinder gasoline (petrol) internal combustion engine (usually with a cylinder volume of 30 to 120 cm 3) or an electric motor driven by a battery or electric power cord. In a petrol chainsaw, fuel is generally supplied to the engine by a carburetor at the intake.
