About Engines and Components
Engines and components are used to convert energy into mechanical force and motion for automotive and industrial applications. There are many different types of products. Examples include automotive engines, diesel engines, gasoline engines, and natural gas engines. This product area also includes engine components such as cylinder head packages, cylinder head gaskets, roller rocker arms, camshafts, valve train components, timing sets, oil pans, oil coolers, oil filters, radiators, and thermostats. Automotive engines use gasoline or diesel fuel and must meet specific regulatory requirements and quality standards. In the United States, both engines and components use advanced engine control systems to manage fuel consumption and reduce emissions. Typically, an industrial diesel engine includes a high-pressure fuel system, electronic pump, and electronic controls. For gasoline-powered engines, industrial engine control systems are used to reduce carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxide, and hydrocarbons released during power generation. A gasoline engine ignites a fuel-air mixture with a spark from a spark plug. A natural gas engine can vary its operating speed depending on the weight of the load.
