INGCO S-AC-CHG-AC755001, Air Compressor- Cylinder Head Gasket- 500ltrs(S-AC-CHG-AC755001)

product details:

The cylinder head gasket is a reusable or disposable seal  situated between the cylinder head and the compressor block in your air compressor. It creates a tight seal to prevent compressed air, oil, and combustion gases (in some models) from leaking between the two components.

Features:

• Material:

  • Metal Gaskets (Reusable): Typically made from copper or stainless steel. They can withstand high temperatures and pressures and are often reusable if not excessively damaged during removal

• Function:

  • Seals the combustion chamber (in some air compressors) to prevent compressed air from leaking back into the crankcase.
  • Prevents engine oil from leaking into the combustion chamber or air path.
  • Contributes to the overall cooling system by allowing for proper coolant circulation between the cylinder head and block.

• Features to Consider:

  • Thickness: The gasket thickness is crucial for maintaining proper cylinder head clamping force and sealing. Using an incorrect thickness can lead to leaks or engine damage.
  • Sealing Holes and Passages: The gasket may have perforations or holes that correspond to oil passages, coolant passages, or air intake/discharge ports. These must align precisely with the corresponding holes in the cylinder head and block for proper function.

Importance of a Proper Cylinder Head Gasket:

• Prevents Leaks: A compromised gasket can cause leaks of compressed air, oil, or coolant, reducing compressor performance and efficiency.
• Prevents Engine Damage: Leaks of oil or coolant can lead to lubrication issues or overheating, potentially causing engine damage.
• Maintains Compression: A proper seal is crucial for maintaining compression within the cylinder, which is essential for efficient air pressure generation.
