The dis advantage is that it takes longer to cool the motor as to a liquid cooling it. You can mess up your motor alot quicker also.

How does a liquid cooled engine work?

In simple tearmsA Liquid Cooling engine works by using Water and Ani Freeze to travel from the resevwar to the engine via a Water Pump, and it travels through water jackets that cool the engine down. when that water gets to hot the Thermostart opens to let water out from the engine through the return pipe and goes through the radiator fins to cool the Hot water down, then goes back into the engine to cool again. Its a cycleVisit Wikipedia for full information


Why most of the heat exchangers are made use of forced convection?

Better heat transfer than natural convection. When compared to water or liquid cooled heat exchangers, the argument could be made that air is a cheaper cooling medium.


How does an internal combustion engine rely on metals to conduct heat .?

Some heat from the combustion chamber goes out in the exhaust, but some gets conducted from the cylinder walls into the water jacket (liquid cooling). In an air cooled engine, heat is conducted into the fins and ultimately convected and radiated to the environment. If that did not happen, the engine would quickly overheat. That could cause it to sieze, or the fuel could preignite, basically throwing the ignition timing way, way off and the engine would stop.


How many types of engineering?

The engine are classified based on combustion (ignition), fuel used, cooling, application and constructions. Based on the combustion type : 1. External combustionengines and 2. Internal combustion engines Based on fuel used : 1. Diesel engines, 2. Petrol engines, 3. CNG engines and LPG engines Based on cooling system : 1. Air cooled engines and 2. Liquid cooled engines Based on applications : 1. Statinary engine 2. Rocket engine and 3. Automobile engine Based on construction : 1. Inline engines, 2. Opposed engines, 3. Rotary engine, 4. V-engines and 5. W engines


Why you use brine as a coolant?

Because it has a lower freezing point than water. It can be cooled to below zero Celsius and remain in liquid form - making it a more effective coolant than plain water.

What is the liquid in a liquid cooled snowmobile?

The liquid in a liquid-cooled snowmobile is typically a mixture of water and antifreeze. This coolant circulates through the engine and absorbs heat to keep the engine temperature regulated during operation.

Would an air-cooled or liquid-cooled bike have better overall value?

Liquid-cooled are alot easier on your engine. But, like anything else, there's always downsides, with LC, you now have to worry about keep levels correct, replacements of rads, water pump, etc. Air-cooled bikes are just less maintenance in that department, nice, but on a hot riding day, they are more or less likely to pop that temperature light on. Liquid-cooled engines are heavier


What is a disadvantage of liquid media?

A disadvantage of liquid media is that it can be more difficult to handle and manipulate compared to solid media. It can also be prone to contamination due to its fluid nature, which may affect experimental results.


Cooled liquid leaving the radiator travels through the?

coolant hose back to the engine to continue the cooling cycle. The coolant absorbs heat from the engine and then releases it to the radiator where it is cooled down before returning to the engine. This cycle helps regulate the engine temperature and prevent overheating.
