Engine Cooling System – The Why & How
Precision Temperature Management
The combustion of fuel and air inside the engine produces enormous heat, only a part of which is converted to mechanical energy to drive the vehicle and the rest is left to engine body and exhaust for removal. Twenty minutes – it could take only 20 minutes – to melt an average engine at the heat produced at high speed driving abilities available today.
The purpose of an automotive engine cooling system is to control the engine metal temperature within safe limits by removing excess heat produced by the combustion. The liquid cooling medium flowing through the cooling system absorbs this heat and dissipates it to the atmosphere through a radiator.
