The Engine Cooling System ©
This book is intended to provide fundamental understanding of the engine cooling system. It is the most comprehensive source of information available to the general public. It discusses the cooling system and its components, functional aspects, performance, heat transfer from the combustion gas to the engine mass for different and engine speed and load conditions, heat rejection vs. load and displacement, and the manner in which the system manages the heat rejection to the cooling air to maintain engine operating temperatures for all weather and operating conditions. The book has 154 easy to read pages, with 175 graphs, illustrations and photographs. A CD is included, with 3 Engineering Fundamentals Handbooks covering Fluid Flow, Heat Transfer and Thermodynamics.

The Cooling Air Circuit ©
Unlike a boat or submarine, atmospheric air is the only fluid available to a road vehicle or aircraft to reject heat to. Air is a very poor heat transfer fluid, enough to be classified as a good insulator, but it is all we have.
Waste heat from the engine can be transferred to the air in 2 ways: 1) Internally, to the coolant flowing through the water jackets, which in turn transports it to the radiator for rejection to the cooling airflow. The coolant is but a transport medium, and. 2) Externally, to the underhood and underbody airflows, from the engine surfaces to include the oil sump.
In hot ambient temperatures, the predominant heat rejection to the air is at the radiator core. In cold weather, the heat rejection to the air from the engine surfaces can be large enough to the extent that the grille requires shutters or curtains to shut down the underhood airflow and avoid overcooling the engine.
This book discusses the cooling air circuit starting with a brief review of the thermo-physical and flow characteristics of air; the system restriction; prime movers (fans); fan curves; fan drives; the effect of fan distance to rear face of radiator; effect of fan immersion into the shroud, shrouds and heat exchanger modules, etc. It discusses the temperature and velocity distribution of the air flowing through the heat exchangers and effect on heat rejection efficiency. It discusses air distribution issues resulting from the front end design; idle recirculation, etc. The book also discusses underhood and underbody flow considerations.

This book is way overdue. To our customers that keep on asking “are we there yet”, we apologize, but, yes, we are getting there. We are recruiting a recently retired aerodynamics expert from Ford Motor to add good info and move things along. Thanks for your patience. |

Engine Coolants ©
The “Engine Coolants ©” book provides practical, comprehensive knowledge of the thermal and physical properties of water and ethylene glycol/water solutions, the corrosion 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, NOT a chemistry book. If you work on cooling systems and still think coolant is “just antifreeze”, this book is definitely for you.
“Engine Coolants” © has 132 pages with 96 graphs, illustrations and photographs.
ISBN 0-9720927-0-6 TTS No. 103 US $29.95 + s/h Soft cover, perfect bound, printed in color. |
