Generally, air cooled engines require less maintenance associated with a wet cooling system. Hoses, pumps, and radiators naturally age and eventually will leak or fail in another manner.

What are the advantages of water-cooled chiller over air-cooled chiller?
1
What are the advantages and disadvantages of an air cooled condensers over that of a fan cooled in refrigeration?
The air cooled can be more efficient because they will use less energy. They are difficult to maintain if it stays too hot.
What are the advantages of water cooled in a car?
Rapid Cooling can be achieved. water is a better conductor of heat, than air. Compact in Design, than that of an Air Cooled one. No need for large fins. Water is cheap. Water has to be mixed with coolant alcohol, to prevent freezing and stop corrosion.
Is an air cooled car lighter or heavier than a water cooled car engine?
An air cooled car will be lighter. The air cooled engine has a single thin walled engine block for air cooling just like an air cooled motorcycle or early VW Beetle. There is no antifreeze, radiator, water pump, hoses, etc, that a water cooled car would have. The water cooled engines have two walls (an inner wall for the pistons, etc, and the outer wall to hold the water) to help carry the water around the hot spots of the motor so you have twice the metal plus the weight of the water, etc. There's probably 200lbs to 300lbs savings.
Does antifreeze go in a diesel engine?
Yes, in the radiator, unless it's air cooled (I don't know of any air cooled diesel car/truck engines)
Does the cooling fins on a car engine?
On cars that have them they are air cooled since there is no radiator.
Are dirt bikes water cooled?
NO dirt bikes are either air cooled (you will mainly find this on Chinese bikes) or they are cooled by coolant from a radiater, much like the one in your car.
What are the advantages of an air cooled motorcycle?
Ssimplicity and weight. An air cooled engine has no water pump, thermostat, radiator, water passageways, etc. They are also cheaper, though since most air cooled motorcycles are used, you won't see much gain there. Some people feel they also look better on crusers and vintage bikes.
Why would water be leaking from under the passenger side of a car?
If you have your air conditioning running it is the moisture that is pulled out of the air when it is being cooled. That water is then expelled outside of the car
Is a 1995 vlx Honda shadow air cooled or water cooled?
Its both air and water cooled.
Can you use 20w-50 car oil in my lawnmower?
No, absolutely not. It is far to heavy for an air cooled lawn mower engine. Use 10w30 or 30 weight in the summer. I recommend synthetic for an air cooled engine.
Is the 1984 Honda atc 250r liquid or air cooled?
The 1984 is air cooled, 1985 and on are water cooled.
