    LIQUID COOLING SYSTEM

    Ravi Kumar Sahni M.E 3rdyear 10030104045

    INTRODUCTION
    We know that in case of Internal Combustion engines, combustion of air and fuel takes place inside the engine cylinder and hot gases are generated. The temperature of gases will be around 2300-2500C. This is a very high temperature and may result into burning of oil film between the moving parts and may result into seizing or welding of the same. So, this temperature must be reduced to about 150-200C at which the engine will work most efficiently. Too much cooling is also not desirable since it reduces the thermal efficiency. So, the object of cooling system is to keep the engine running at its most efficient operating temperature. It is to be noted that the engine is quite inefficient when it is cold and hence the cooling system is designed in such a way that it prevents cooling when the engine is warming up and till it attains to maximum efficient operating temperature, then it starts cooling.

    Heat partition
    About 20-25% of total heat generated is used
    for producing brake power (useful work). Cooling system is designed to remove 30-35% of total heat. Remaining heat is lost in friction and carried away by exhaust gases.

    Types of Cooling Systems


    Air cooled system Water cooled system.

    Air Cooled System


    Air cooled system is generally used in small engines say up to 15-20 kW and in aero plane engines. In this system fins or extended surfaces are provided on the cylinder walls, cylinder head, etc. Heat generated due to combustion in the engine cylinder will be conducted to the fins and when the air flows over the fins, heat will be dissipated to air.

    Merits and Demerits of Air Cooled System


    Merits: Radiator/pump is absent hence the system is light. In case of water cooling system there are leakages, but in this case there are no leakages. Coolant and antifreeze solutions are not required. This system can be used in cold climates, where if water is used it may freeze

    Demerits :

    Comparatively it is less efficient. It is used in aero planes and motorcycle engines where the engines are exposed to air directly.

    LIQUID COOLING SYSTEM


    In this method, cooling water jackets are provided around the cylinder, cylinder head, valve seats etc. The water when circulated through the jackets, it absorbs heat of combustion. This hot water will then be cooling in the radiator partially by a fan and partially by the flow developed by the forward motion of the vehicle. The cooled water is again recirculated through the water jackets.

    Radiator Water Jackets


    Antifreeze mixtures

    MAIN PARTS
    Fan Water pump
    Thermostat valve

    Merits & Demerits of Liquid Cooling System


    Merits: Uniform cooling of cylinder, cylinder head and valves. Specific fuel consumption of engine improves by using water cooling system. If we employ water cooling system, then engine need not be provided at the front end of moving vehicle. Engine is less noisy as compared with air cooled engines, as it has water for damping noise.

    Demerits: It depends upon the supply of water. The water pump which circulates water absorbs considerable power. If the water cooling system fails then it will result in severe damage of engine. The water cooling system is costlier as it has more number of parts. Also it requires more maintenance and care for its parts.
