![]() ![]() ![]() It converts the reciprocating motion of the piston into the rotary motion of the crank.Ĭrankshaft: This is the main shaft of the engine with a crank. Its one end is connected to the crosshead and the other the crank. It is used to guide the movement of the piston and prevent the piston from bending.Ĭonnecting Rod: Connecting rod is made of forged steel. ![]() It transfers motion from the piston to the cross-head.Ĭross Head: This is the connection between the piston rod and the connecting rod. Piston Rod: The piston rod is a round rod, its one side is connected with the piston, and the other side is connected with the cross-head. Steam is exhausted through the exhaust port after doing work in the cylinder. The steam from the steam chest enters the cylinder through inlet ports. Inlet and Exhaust Ports: These ports are used for steam movement in the cylinder body. It is used to exhaust steam from the cylinder. This steam is then supplied to the cylinder using a D-slide valve.ĭ-slide Valve: This valve moves with a simple harmonic motion in the steam chest. The superheated steam coming from the boiler at high pressure (above 20 Atm.) is fed into the steam chest. Steam Chest: The steam chest is moulded as an integral part of the cylinder. Its function is to convert the thermal energy of steam into mechanical work. Piston: The piston is a cylindrical disc that moves back and forth in the cylinder under the action of steam pressure.
