Why engine overhaeting can be expensive?
Engine overheating can put extreme stress on many parts, burn oils and greases, warp cylinder heads and stress radiators.
What is the transfer of heat by movement of liquid or gases?
One form of heat movement in heated liquids is enjoyed in a domestic boiler cum radiators system. Here the boiler heats the water which is then pumped to the room radiators before being returned to the boiler. The so-called "radiators" are not principally radiators although some heat is radiated from them. More heat is transferred by convection when the hot radiator heats the air next to it. The classical name for heat transfer in liquids is Convection due to currents within the liquid caused by hotter liquid being less dense than colder liquid. In times past when houses had a "back boiler" tank connected to a hot water cylinder upstairs it was these convection currents which caused the heated water from the boiler to rise up to the cylinder, and the colder water to descend to the back boiler. In the case of gases hardly any heat is transferred by conduction or radiation, being transferred almost entirely by convection due to hotter gases being less dense than colder ones.
What is the difference between an indirect cylinder and a direct cylinder?
With an indirect water heating system and cylinder, the water that circulates around the boiler, pipes and radiators is kept totally separate from the stored water in the cylinder that is used for bathing. From the outside the indirect cylinder looks identical to the direct cylinder save from two additional pipe connections on the side of the cylinder. Inside the cylinder a coil heat exchanger is installed, which allows hot water from the boiler to flow into the upper connection and leave at the lower connection to return to the boiler for re-heating. The hot water in the coil indirectly heats the water in the cylinder. A Direct Cylinder is heated by a source located within the cylinder - such as an electrical immersion heater. Because the Immersion Heater is heating the water 'directly' the cylinder is called a 'Direct Cylinder'. In a direct cylinder there are no other external heat sources.
