  2. Head gasket - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Head_gasket

    In an internal combustion engine, a head gasket provides the seal between the engine block and cylinder head(s). Its purpose is to seal the combustion gases within the cylinders and to avoid coolant or engine oil leaking into the cylinders. [1] Leaks in the head gasket can cause poor engine running and/or overheating.

    U.S. regulators are warning airlines to limit the use of an anti-icing system on Boeing 737 Max jets in dry air to avoid overheating engine-housing parts, which could cause them to break away from ...

  4. Internal combustion engine cooling - Wikipedia

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

    For water-cooled engines on aircraft and surface vehicles, waste heat is transferred from a closed loop of water pumped through the engine to the surrounding atmosphere by a radiator. Water has a higher heat capacity than air, and can thus move heat more quickly away from the engine, but a radiator and pumping system add weight, complexity, and ...

  5. Crankcase ventilation system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crankcase_ventilation_system

    This can happen on turbocharged engines or when a backfire takes place, and the positive pressure could damage the crankcase seals and gaskets, or even cause a crankcase explosion. The PCV valve therefore closes when positive pressure is present, to prevent it from reaching the crankcase.

  6. Water injection (engine) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_injection_(engine)

    With the use of ADI, the injected water and alcohol (which is mixed with the water to prevent it from becoming ice) absorbs the excess heat to prevent detonation while still allowing for a leaner and more powerful mixture. [3] Notable engine with water fuel injection: BMW 801, Daimler-Benz DB 605, Junkers Jumo 213, Pratt & Whitney Double Wasp.

  7. Hydrolock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrolock

    Water can be introduced from the boiler or in a cold engine, steam will condense to water on the cool walls of the cylinders and can potentially hydrolock an engine. This is just as damaging as it is to internal combustion engines and in the case of a steam locomotive can be very dangerous as a broken connecting rod could puncture the firebox ...

  8. Carburetor heat - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carburetor_heat

    The diversion of warm air into the intake reduces the available power from the engine for three reasons: thermodynamic efficiency is slightly reduced, since it is a function of the difference in temperature between the incoming and exhaust gases; the quantity of air available for combustion inside the cylinders is reduced due to the lower ...

  9. Wax thermostatic element - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wax_thermostatic_element

    A correctly designed thermostat will never be fully open or fully closed while the engine is operating normally, or overheating or overcooling would occur. Double valve engine thermostat Engines which require a tighter control of temperature, as they are sensitive to "Thermal shock" caused by surges of coolant, may use a "constant inlet ...
