Q
how engine cooling works
I'm a seasoned industrial engineer with a keen interest in machine learning. Here to share insights on latest industry trends.
Engine cooling predominantly works on a liquid-cooling or air-cooling method.
1. Liquid-Cooled Engines:
In a liquid-cooled engine, the process involves pushing coolant (usually a mixture of water and antifreeze) through various passes, pipes, and components that make up the engine. The coolant absorbs the heat produced by the engine. This hot coolant mixture is then circulated through the radiator where the heat is dispelled into the atmosphere, thereby cooling the liquid again before it's pumped back into the engine to absorb more heat. This cycle continues for as long as the engine is running, keeping the engine's temperature at safe, operational limits.
2. Air-Cooled Engines:
In air-cooled engines, the excess heat escapes directly into the air. These engines have fins or small metal ridges cast into the exterior surfaces of the cylinders which provide a way for heat to be transferred from the interior of the engine to the surrounding air. Some air-cooled engines also have a fan that blows air onto these fins to accelerate the cooling process.
Some engines, mainly large, industrial types, use a combination of both liquid-cooling and air-cooling systems.
Whichever type of cooling system an engine uses, its key job is to remove excess heat from the engine to prevent overheating, maintain optimum operating temperature and promote engine efficiency.
