  2. Internal combustion engine cooling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internal_combustion_engine...

    However, properties of the coolant (water, oil, or air) also affect cooling. As example which compares water and oil as coolants, one gram of oil can absorb about 55% of the heat for the same rise in temperature (called the specific heat capacity). Oil has about 90% the density of water, so a given volume of oil can absorb only about 50% of the ...

  3. Radiator (engine cooling) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiator_(engine_cooling)

    More simply they may be oil-water coolers, where an oil pipe is inserted inside the water radiator. Though the water is hotter than the ambient air, its higher thermal conductivity offers comparable cooling (within limits) from a less complex and thus cheaper and more reliable [citation needed] oil cooler. Less commonly, power steering fluid ...

  4. Water cooling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_cooling

    Water cooling is a method of heat removal from components and industrial equipment. Evaporative cooling using water is often more efficient than air cooling. Water is inexpensive and non-toxic; however, it can contain impurities and cause corrosion. Water cooling is commonly used for cooling automobile internal combustion engines and power ...

    This is known as a pre-start engine check. First all the lines and hoses are checked for breaks and leaks. Second the radiator is topped off with water to ensure that the system is sealed off. Next the oil level is replenished. Finally the battery charge is checked and the ignition system is inspected. The engine is then ready to be started. [21]

  6. Antifreeze - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antifreeze

    However, all common antifreeze additives also have lower heat capacities than water, and do reduce water's ability to act as a coolant when added to it. [2] Because water has good properties as a coolant, water plus antifreeze is used in internal combustion engines and other heat transfer applications, such as HVAC chillers and solar water heaters.

  7. Coolant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coolant

    A coolant is a substance, typically liquid, that is used to reduce or regulate the temperature of a system. An ideal coolant has high thermal capacity, low viscosity, is low-cost, non-toxic, chemically inert and neither causes nor promotes corrosion of the cooling system. Some applications also require the coolant to be an electrical insulator.

    This is a list of auto parts, which are manufactured components of automobiles.This list reflects both fossil-fueled cars (using internal combustion engines) and electric vehicles; the list is not exhaustive.
