Ideal sealing strategies for cylinder heads: For every dynamic, for every pressure


Performance in any situation  - Otto engines 
The diversity of functional elements for MLS cylinder head gaskets permits a variety of possible combinations. Engines can have a variety of different characteristics, but of these, the specific power, peak combustion pressure, stiffness, power transmission, and the motor dynamics are the major factors that determine the MLS design. A motor’s dynamics permit inferences about engine design and stiffness. The following chart depicts the performance of various MLS designs based on the specific engine performance and dynamics.



Ensuring the proper pressure level – Diesel engines
 
VICTOR REINZ engineers have the experience necessary to control the plastic/elastic sealing behavior in a way that this is able to follow the motor’s deformation behavior under all operational conditions, thereby preventing the pressure level from falling below the level necessary for proper sealing.
 

 
Every engine is different, and the design requirements for MLS cylinder head gaskets are equally diverse. The following tables depict various MLS designs in one to five-layer versions and their application possibilities.
