Auto radiator is 1 component of motor cooling method. Other components of this program includes thermostat, water pump, Cylinder waterway, Cylinder head waterway, fan and the like.
To refrain from overheat with the automobile motor, components about the combustion chamber such as cylinder sleeve, cylinder head and valves need to have suitable cooling. There are actually three types of cooling device for internal combustion engine–drinking water cooling, oil cooling and air cooling, among which h2o cooling is a major cooling way for auto motor. Circulating h2o in cylinder h2o way is used for cooling, then heated h2o will be led to the auto raditor, finally back to the waterway after wind cooling.
As an illustration of cars, automobile raditor cools down circulating drinking water. It has flat shaped h2o pipe and corrugated shaped cooling fin, both are mostly made of aluminum. They are thermal performance oriented, and their installation direction is normal to the air flow direction, hence reduce wind resistense and improve cooling efficiency as far as possible.
Cooling drinking water, also called cooling liquid, is not pure water but mixture of h2o (up to the standard of drinking drinking water), antifreeze (always use ethanediol) and all kinds of preservatives of special utility. Thereinto, antifreeze account for 30% to 50% in the cooling liquid. This helps to improve the boiling point in the cooling liquid. In certain working pressure, the thermal rating in the cooling liquid can reach 120 degree celsius which is higher than drinking water boiling point and makes the liquid weak-volatilized.
To improve the cooling capacity from the auto radiator, a enthusiast is installed behind the radiator to make it possible for forced draft. Auto radiator used to be driven directly by crankshaft pulley belt. Subsequently, it has to start work once the motor starts to operate rather than depending on temperature variation with the motor. To adjust cooling capacity, adjustable louvers are added to the radiator and will act as wind conditioner. Now electromagnetic fan clutch or electromagnetic fan are frequently used on modern cars, and both are controlled by temperature transmitter. The clutch will separate with spindle under low temperature and then the enthusiast does not perform. But when temperature is high, power will be switched on by temperature transmitter which makes connection between clutch and spindle along with the fan will set out to work.
Auto radiator can hold water as well as dissipating heat. Yet, it has three drawbacks if we purely relied on radiator. First, the bibulous side from the h2o pump is easy to boil due to low pressure and the impeller tend to get cavitation erosion. Secondly, due to seperation of gas and drinking water, a vapor lock is more likely to develop. Finally, cooling liquid is presumably boiled away under high temperature. Therefore,expansion vessel is developed by automobile designers. Its upper pipe connects with headpiece from the radiator and lower pipe with pump inlet. This could effectively stop above problems from happening. Nowadays, cars have more complex cooling method than before, basically added temperature control parts which makes the radiator fan more flexible to temperature variation.
