What Are the Consequences of an Overheated Car Engine?

[StMicah]

Car engine overheating will result in: decreased engine power, reduced engine air charge coefficient, leading to a decrease in the amount of fresh air-fuel mixture entering the cylinders, and a reduction in the average effective pressure in the cylinders. Engine overheating refers to the excessive temperature of the engine's cooling system. The car engine is the device that provides power to the car, serving as the heart of the vehicle, determining its power, fuel economy, stability, and environmental friendliness. Depending on the power source, car engines can be categorized into diesel engines, gasoline engines, electric vehicle motors, and hybrid systems. Common gasoline and diesel engines are both types of reciprocating piston internal combustion engines, which convert the chemical energy of fuel into the mechanical energy of piston movement to output power.
