Refrigeration Compressor Connecting Rods

The load on the piston due to combustion of fuel in the combustion chamber is transmitted to crankshaft through the Refrigeration Compressor Connecting Rods. One end of connecting rod known as small end and is connected to the piston through gudgeon pin while the other end known as big end and is connected to crankshaft through crank pin. Generally, plain carbon steel is used as material to manufacture connecting rod but where low weight is most important factor, aluminium alloys are most suitable. Nickel alloy steel is also used for heavy duty engine's connecting rod.
