Piston/piston ring arrangement

摘要

A piston/piston ring arrangement for an internal combustion engine has a piston that is provided with at least one piston ring accommodated in a ring groove, which ring has a ring gap. A spring element is disposed between the groove root of the ring groove and the piston ring, which element fills the ring gap of the piston ring. A modular unit is composed of such a piston/piston ring arrangement and a cylinder or a cylinder sleeve of an internal combustion engine.
