Dry and Wet Cylinder Liner
Dry cylinder liners are among the basic piston protectors. They must withstand extremely high temperatures and guard against impurities, so they are constructed of high-grade materials, such as cast iron and ceramic-nickle plating. Dry liners are much thinner than their counterpart, wet liners. They do not interact with the engine coolant but instead provide a very close fit with the jacket in the cylinder block to protect the piston from heat and impurities.
Wet cylinder liners protect the pistons in a different way than dry ones, but they are made from the same hardy material. They come in direct contact with the engine coolant. Sometimes the wet cylinder liners are fitted with tiny openings to help disperse the heat and impurities. These types of liners are called water-jacket liners but are simply another type of wet cylinder liner. If the liner doesn't have a cooling jacket, one is created by the liner by interacting with the jacket present in the cylinder block.
How to Calculate Minimum Thickness of Dry Liner?
Minimum Thickness of Dry Liner calculator uses Thickness of Dry Liner = 0.03*Inner Diameter of Engine Cylinder to calculate the Thickness of Dry Liner, Minimum Thickness of Dry Liner is the minimum thickness of the dry liner, a cylinder liner that does not have any direct contact with the cooling water jacket. Thickness of Dry Liner is denoted by td symbol.
