The book is a comprehensive, easy to use technical summary, a “knowledge dump” from a 30 year OEM engineering expert. It discusses functional requirements, components and their interaction; the heat rejection to the engine mass from the combustion of the fuel/air mixture and to the coolant for different engine speed and load conditions and ambient temperatures; the need for a cooling system to stabilize temperatures within specific ranges; heat balance; the heat rejection to the atmosphere required to maintain operating temperatures, the system braches and circuits; engine water jackets; water pump; radiator; radiator corrosion; system pressurization and depressurization, thermostat; pressure caps and recovery systems; deaeration; pressure-temperature profiles; cavitation; erosion; etc.

 

TTS books are designed and formatted specifically for technically oriented persons, to impart understanding. It is used for OEM engineering seminars, the training of engine cooling service technicians and for personal reference and self-improvement.

 

A CD is included, with 3 Engineering Fundamentals Handbooks covering Fluid Flow, Heat Transfer and Thermodynamics.  (click here for contents of Thermodynamics CD)

ISBN 978-0-9820571-0-0 Publication No. TTS-503 List price $29.95 US Author: C. A. Mesa Soft cover, comb bound. 96 pages, with 71 graphs and illustrations. Includes index Book Description / Table of Contents / Buy Now Button This book presents the components of a complex, multifaceted subject from the perspective of an experienced vehicle engineer. It covers considerations associated with the forces that resists vehicle motion; the tractive effort required to overcome them, how to determine rolling and aero resistance forces for any speed with a stopwatch; reciprocating engine characteristics such as brake specific fuel consumption; effect of transmission gear ratios on matching the engine characteristics; petroleum based and alcohol fuels. It covers the fundamental concepts of gas-electric hybrid vehicle architectures and how these affect mpg ratings. This info is not likely to be found anywhere else in a single cohesive package, including the OEM. It is NOT a textbook. A few very simple formulas (multiply and divide) are included for those with the inclination, but graphs and charts present all the numerical information required. Guaranteed that the reader will never fall for another useless “mpg miracle” gimmick again.

The book provides practical, comprehensive knowledge of the thermal and physical properties of water and ethylene glycol/water solutions; freeze point vs. concentration; the electro-chemical corrosion and erosion/impingement mechanisms that affect the metals in the cooling system; corrosion inhibitors and their characteristics and the factors that influence the rate of corrosion, such as cavitation and erosion, coolant pH and stray electrical currents. It also covers water quality requirements; deposits that plug radiator/heater core tubes and the pressure/vacuum valves in radiator caps, hoses, etc.

 

It is intended for those engaged with engine cooling work, it is NOT a chemistry book. If you work on cooling systems and still think engine coolant is “just antifreeze” and any tap water is OK, this book is definitely for you.
