    Many high-performance aircraft however suffer extreme overheating problems when idling on the ground - a mere seven minutes for a Spitfire. [6] This is similar to Formula 1 cars of today, when stopped on the grid with engines running they require ducted air forced into their radiator pods to prevent overheating.

  4. Internal combustion engine cooling - Wikipedia

    Engine cooling removes energy fast enough to keep temperatures low so the engine can survive. [2] Some high-efficiency engines run without explicit cooling and with only incidental heat loss, a design called adiabatic. Such engines can achieve high efficiency but compromise power output, duty cycle, engine weight, durability, and emissions.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four-stroke_engine

    Four-stroke cycle used in gasoline/petrol engines: intake (1), compression (2), power (3), and exhaust (4). The right blue side is the intake port and the left brown side is the exhaust port. The cylinder wall is a thin sleeve surrounding the piston head which creates a space for the combustion of fuel and the genesis of mechanical energy.

    Engine oil heater attached to the engine's oil pan with magnets. Engine oil heater inserted into the dipstick tube. In-line coolant heaters, which are installed into a radiator hose to warm the coolant (sometimes with a circulation pump to increase its effectiveness). Electric blankets that are laid over the top of the engine.
