Cooling System

Cooling System
 An automobile's cooling system is the collection of parts
and substances (coolants) that work together to maintain
the engine's temperature at optimal levels. Comprising
many different components such as water pump, coolant,
a thermostat etc. the system enables smooth and efficient
functioning of the engine at the same time protecting it
from damage
An automotive cooling system must perform several
functions
1. Remove excess from the engine
2. Maintain a consist engine temperature
Need Of Cooling System
 Get the engine up to optimum operating Temperature
as quickly as possible and maintains it at that
temperature.
 Controls the heat produced in combustion chamber,
so that the engine parts are not damaged & the oil does
not break down.
The temp. of component must be maintained within
certain limit in order to obtain maximum performance
of engine. Adequate cooling is then a fundamental
requirement associated with reciprocating I.C.engine.
Types of cooling system
In order to cool the engine a cooling medium is
required. On the basis of medium ,in general use for
cooling I.C. engine ,types of cooling system are:-

 liqiud or indirect cooling system.


air or direct cooling system.
Liquid Cooled System
A liquid is circulated around the
cylinders and absorb heat from the
cylinder walls and cylinder head.
Coolant absorbs heat as it passes
through the engine and also
lubricates the water pump.
Hot coolant enters the radiator in
which the heat is passed on to air
that is flowing through the
radiator.
Water Jackets
Designed to keep engine block
and cylinder head cool.

Open spaces between the outside


of cylinder and inside of cylinder
block and head.
When engine is running at
normal operating temperature,
the coolant is forced through the
water jackets in the engine block,
through the head gasket, into the
head, and back to the radiator.
Water Pump
Draws the coolant from the radiator,
through the lower radiator hose, and
then forces it through the water jackets,
back into the radiator.
If the clutch fan can be wiggled up and
down, most likely the water pump needs
to be replaced.
Water pumps gasket is placed between
the water pump and the engine block to
prevent leakage 9if left loose it might leak
and if tightened too much it might
crack).
Fan:-
The fan is mounted on the impeller
spindle driven by a suitable belt
pulley arrangement .Fan draws air
through the radiator at low speeds.
Thermostat
Thermostat placed between the
cylinder head and top radiator
hose.
The temperature that the
thermostat opens is called
thermostat rating.
The thermostat's main job is to
allow the engine to heat up
quickly, and then to keep the
engine at a constant temperature
Radiator
Radiator is a heat exchanger
that removes heat from the
coolant passing through it.
 Vehicles equipped with
automatic transmission have
transmission cooler build
into the radiator.
The purpose of radiator is to
provide a large amount of
cooling surface area so that
water passing downward
through it in thin stream is
cooled efficiently.
Coolant Recovery Tank
•Keeps the coolant level full in the
system at all times.
Works in conjunction with the
radiator cap.
•When the engine heats up the
coolant expands and flows to the
recovery tank.
•When the engine coolant the
coolant contracts and creates a
vacuum and draws the fluid back
into the radiator.
•Reduces air in system
Reduces rust
•Less need to open radiator
Air Cooled System
In air cooled system a current of air made to flow past
the outside of the cylinder barrel ,outer surface area
which has been considerably increased by providing
cooling fins.
The amount of heat dissipated to air depends upon :
(a) Amount of air flowing through the fins.
(b) Fin surface area.
(c) Thermal conductivity of metal used for fins.
Cooling Fins
In the study of heat transfer, a fin is a
surface that extends from an object to
increase the rate of heat transfer to or
from the environment by
increasing convection. The amount
of conduction, convection,
or radiation of an object determines the
amount of heat it transfers. Increasing
the temperature difference between the
object and the environment, increasing
the convection heat transfer coefficient ,
or increasing the surface area of the
object increases the heat transfer.
Baffles
The rate of heat transfer from the
cylinder walls can be substantially
increased by using baffles which
force the air through the space
between the fins.
Advantages and Disadvantages of
liquid Cooling System
Advantages:-
(a) Uniform cooling of cylinder, cylinder head and
valves.
(b) Specific fuel consumption of engine improves by
using water cooling system.
(c) If we employ water cooling system, then engine
need not be provided at the front end of moving
vehicle.
(d) Engine is less noisy as compared with air cooled
engines, as it has water for damping noise.
Disadvantages
(a) It depends upon the supply of water.
(b) The water pump which circulates water absorbs
considerable power.
(c) If the water cooling system fails then it will result
in severe damage of engine.
(d) The water cooling system is costlier as it has more
number of parts. Also it requires more maintenance
and care for its parts.
Advantages and Disadvantages of air
Cooling System
Advantages:-
(a) Radiator/pump is absent hence the system is light.
(b) In case of water cooling system there are leakages,
but in this case here are no leakages.
(c) Coolant and antifreeze solutions are not required.
(d) This system can be used in cold climates, where if
water is used it may freeze.
Disadvantages
(a) Comparatively it is less efficient.
(b) It is used in aero planes and motorcycle
engines where the engines are exposed to air
directly.
