At A & A Machine & Fabrication LLC, we work with cylinder liners.
Many types of vehicles and machines rely on compressors, which allow other components to run properly. The compressor is a mechanical part that utilizes suction to compress the energy from the air, and that compressed air can supply power to other parts. Within this vital component, a cylinder liner supports the functionality and provides ongoing protection. Cylinder liners help to protect the pistons from premature wear and tear, as well as the high levels of heat that are produced inside the compressor. They may be heat-treated to increase their ability to protect against wear and create a harder inner layer.
With three main types of cylinder liners, it’s important to know which type is used in your machinery. These include wet, dry, and air-cooled. Each has its own unique design elements. Dry liners are more common in units with smaller engines and are typically made from cast iron with specialized plating. A wet liner is thicker and easier to replace than a dry liner, and it remains in constant contact with the coolant for the engine. An air-cooled liner helps to dissipate the heat produced by the engine through the airflow.
