Need For Flywheel In An Automobile Engine. (Must Know it)

Need For Flywheel In An Automobile Engine. (Must Know it) 

Flywheel - A heavy steel wheel attached to the engine's crankshaft to store energy and is responsible for delivering smooth power from the engine. 

Welcome to autoblogly, here is everything you need to know about the ic engine's flywheel. A flywheel is the rotating component of the engine. It is found in diesel as well as petrol/gasoline engines. Apart from the automobile industry, flywheels can be found in many places like generators and other moving devices when energy storage is required.

Flywheel In An Automobile Engine

The flywheel is fitted back side of the engine. It is designed round in shape and gears are cut on the edge of the flywheel. 
The main purpose of cutting a gear-like structure is so that the starter motor can be geared with a flywheel which helps in getting the engine started.

At first, the starter motor starts rotating the flywheel, and the flywheel connected to the crankshaft begins rotating. This rotation of crankshaft crates to and fro the motion of pistons. This is how the engine starts. This was a simple concept about the flywheel's working and the engine's start.

Apart from this, the other primary function of the flywheel is storing energy and during the power, the stroke crankshaft gets most of the thrust while the other 3 pistons are not in a state of generating power. So, the flywheel plays a significant role here. The flywheel which is attached at the end of the crankshaft absorbs the maximum energy produced during the power stroke and helps the other three pistons by providing them every to continue working.


The flywheel looks so simple But it has its own unique working state. Which makes it different from other parts. Each and every engine is equipped with a flywheel. Without a flywheel, the engine can't work. Also, we can't even start the engine.
A good flywheel reduces knocking and engine vibration. I have also added the images of the flywheel for better understanding. Hope your doubts regarding the flywheel are cleared.
Do you know the battery is the most underrated part of the car? Without a good and healthy battery, you can't start a car.

CRDI (Explained In Very Simple Words)

CRDI - Common Rail Direct Injection (Hyundai) CRDI means a common rail direct injection system. It is a type of fuel delivery system used in most cars and vehicles. In this system, fuel is taken out and delivered into the engine's combustion chamber. CRDI is the name used by Hyundai and other brands that call the same system different names. Like, DICOR , CRDE, and DDIS , the three are the same but are used by various companies like TATA , Mahindra , and Maruti . What is CRDI? CRDI is the most advanced form of fuel delivery system which is fully automatic and controlled by ECU . And here, ECU works on the data provided by the actuators and sensors. This system is mostly used by Hyundai( a motor company).  Is CRDI and MPFI the same? No, both are different. CRDI is used in diesel engines whereas MPFI is used in petrol engines. Parts/components used in the CRDI system The main working components of the CRDI are: Fuel tank Fuel filter Pump Pressure Regulating Valve High-pressure Pu...
