What are the differences between water-cooled and air-cooled motorcycles?
1 Answers
The differences between water-cooled and air-cooled motorcycles are: 1. Different cooling methods: Water-cooled systems use flowing water to wrap around the cylinder sleeve and cylinder head for cooling; air-cooled systems rely on the wind generated by the vehicle's movement for cooling. 2. Different configurations: The basic components of a water-cooled system include a water pump, radiator thermostat, and fan; air-cooled cylinders are designed with larger cooling fins, and the cylinder head features cooling fins and air ducts. Characteristics of air-cooled motorcycles: The cooling system is naturally cooled with zero failures and occupies minimal space. Characteristics of water-cooled motorcycles: Effective temperature control for high-power, high-speed engines, and the throttle valve closes when the temperature is low until the oil temperature rises to achieve lubrication.
