Engine Cooling – Convection
Heat is transferred by convection currents in a liquid or gas. When a fluid or gas is heated it
becomes less dense therefore it rises and cooler gas or liquid takes its place. When water is
heated it expands, becomes lighter and rises. This principle is used in water-cooling systems.
Q.2. An engine uses a high capacity
Cooling System:
The cooling system for a heavy duty engine must be
maintained for the entire system to operate at optimal
efficiency. Each component within the system relies
on the other components for optimum operation
and performance.
