Now a day it is very important to increase the efficiency of IC engines due to many factors such as fuel economy, fuel crisis and ultimately to increase the output. Here comes the importance of effective cooling systems in IC engine. The advanced cooling concepts are proposed to overcome the shortcomings arising when applying conventional cooling methods. The various effects of overheating the engine components due to the improper cooling and conventional cooling methods have also being discussed.
During the process of combustion a large portion of heat is transferred to various engine components and the engine may be damaged unless the excess heat is carried away and these parts are adequately cooled. Adequate cooling is then a fundamental problem associated with internal combustion engines. The novel cooling system designs would seem to offer more potential, than conventional cooling systems, for controlling the engine temperature, reducing the fuel conception and reducing the emissions.
