The sealing element identified by code number K 16105 is specifically designed to ensure airtight and fluid-tight connections between components K 16102 and K 16150 within the Sulzer ZV40/48 engine. Effective sealing is critical in high-pressure engine systems to prevent leaks of lubricants, fuels, or gases that could lead to performance issues or mechanical failure. Manufactured from heat- and chemical-resistant materials, this seal maintains its integrity under intense operational conditions. Regular inspection and timely replacement of this sealing component are vital for maintaining system efficiency and protecting surrounding parts from wear or contamination.
