Internal combustion engines are prone to heating due to combustion and friction inside the chambers. A cooling system is an essential component that regulates the temperature and prevents overheating. However, there are different types of cooling systems used in different cars. Despite the difference in how they work, they are all responsible for maintaining the optimum temperature for proper engine working. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s discuss the working and types of engine cooling systems in cars in more detail. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is a Car Cooling System<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The cooling system is a part of a vehicle responsible for regulating the engine\u2019s temperature. The regulated temperature enables engines to work efficiently regardless of the internal or external temperature. An engine cooling system parts include the radiator, fans, thermostat valve and water pump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Does an Engine Cooling System Work<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The working of the cooling system starts when the water pump<\/a> pushes the coolant (water or oil) in the ways inside the engine block. When coolant travels through these ways it collects the additional heat from the combustion chambers and other places. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After collecting heat, the coolant travels through the thermostat<\/a> to the radiator grille. The grille consists of smaller tubes in which coolant travels to reduce its temperature. A fan is placed in front of the radiator grille to provide it with air that reduces the temperature of the coolant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Types of Car Cooling System<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Following are the two main types of engine cooling systems used in automobiles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The air cooling system is the simplest type of car engine cooling system in which air in the surrounding area is used to cool down the engine. Engines with air cooling systems are designed with multiple aluminium fins that provide extra surface for heat exhaustion. In some cases, a fan is also used to blow air over the engine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The amount of heat exhaustion is dependent upon multiple factors such as the surface area of the fins, the velocity of air blown by fans and the internal temperature. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The air cooling system is often considered suitable for colder climates. This cooling system is used for smaller engines such as motorbikes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
