PRESSURIZED COOLING SYSTEM 3
Abstract
An internal combustion engine uses either air or liquid as a medium for removing excess heat
from the internal engine; and all combustion engines need cooling systems since burning of fuel
takes place within the engine itself. A system which is air cooled is majorly used in the small
engine. Contrary to liquid cooled system which is more efficient. This research discusses more
on a pressurized liquid system being a more effective alternative for cooling combustion engines.
Such a system involves a circulating system, pressure cap and convectional radiator. A pressure
cap has a vacuum and pressure relief valve elements which functions in reducing the maximum
operating pressure of that system as well as reducing negative pressures in order to prevent
damages while cooling after shutting down the engine (Ganesan, 2012). Pressure relief valves
also feature in such type of system, where they work hand in hand with the pressure cap
managing pressure within the system.
Introduction
The Liquid cooled systems are the most used systems these days. With this system in an
automotive, heat is driven off by using heat absorbing coolant which circulates throughout the
internal engine, most likely around the chamber of combustion particularly in the cylinder head
region of the engine block (Moroi et al, 2000). This coolant is then pumped through the engine,
where it absorbs the heat obtained during combustion, thereafter circulating to the radiator where
the excess heat is ultimately passed to the atmosphere. After cooling the liquid, it is then brought
back to the engine where a similar process is repeated.
