cooling system: see air conditioning heat pump is a reversible device that does mechanical work to extract heat from a cooler place and deliver heat to a warmer place. The heat delivered to the warmer place is, approximately, the sum of the original heat and the work done. .....

Refrigeration in its modern, portable form also depends on insulating materials that are thin yet effective. .....

In a mechanical transmission, the oil loses its lubricating capacity if overheated; in a hydraulic coupling or converter, the fluid leaks under the pressure created. In an electric motor, overheating causes deterioration of the insulation. In an overheated internal-combustion engine, the pistons may seize in the cylinders. The cooling agents customarily employed are air and a liquid (usually water), either alone or in combination. In some cases, direct contact with ambient air (free convection) may be sufficient, as in cooling towers; in other cases, it may be necessary to employ forced convection, created either by a fan or by the natural motion of the hot body. Cooling systems are used in automobiles, industrial plant machinery, nuclear reactors, and many other types of machinery. See also air conditioning, heat exchanger. |

| You take that a step further, and let the processor know the temperature of the incoming air and the engine cooling system, and you get even better combustion control. Innovations in the engine cooling system arena are clearly influenced by the introduction of stricter standards on emissions, the requirement for reduced fuel consumption and new regulations on pedestrian impact for front-ends. It also identifies market shares for the engine cooling system market in Europe, Japan, North America and worldwide. |
