What is the function of the cooling system?
1 Answers
The function of the cooling system is: 1. To dissipate heat into the air to prevent engine overheating; 2. To allow the engine to warm up as quickly as possible and maintain a constant temperature; 3. To remove the heat generated by engine combustion, keeping the engine within the normal operating temperature range. Cooling systems can be divided into air-cooled and water-cooled based on the cooling medium. A system that directly dissipates heat from high-temperature engine components into the atmosphere is called an air-cooled system, while a system that first transfers heat to coolant and then dissipates it into the atmosphere is called a water-cooled system. Due to its uniform cooling and reduced engine noise, water-cooled systems are widely used in automotive engines today.
