Lubricating system

:nitionDefi1.1

Is essential to reduce friction and wear between the components in an engine.

Function of Lubricating:

i) To reduce friction and wear between the moving part and there by energy loss and

to increase the live of the engine.

ii) To provide sealing action .

iii) To cool the surfaces by carrying away the heat generation in engine components .

iv) To clean the surfaces by washing away carbon and metal particles caused by wear

COOLING SYSTEMS OF IC ENGINES

3.1 INTRODUCTION

It is to be noted that the engine is quite inefficient when it is cold and hence the

cooling system is designed in such a way that it prevents cooling when the engine is

warming up and till it attains to maximum efficient operating temperature, then it

starts cooling.

It is also to be noted that :

(a) About 20-25% of total heat generated is used for producing brake power

(useful work).

(b) Cooling system is designed to remove 30-35% of total heat.

(c) Remaining heat is lost in friction and carried away by exhaust gases.

There are mainly two types of cooling systems :

(a) Air cooled system, and(b) Water cooled system

3.2 Air Cooled SystemAir cooled system is generally used in small engines say up to 15-20 kW and in

aero plane engines.

The amount of heat dissipated to air depends upon :

(a) Amount of air flowing through the fins.

(b) Fin surface area.

(c) Thermal conductivity of metal used for fins.

3.3 WATER COOLING SYSTEM

Types of Water Cooling SystemThere are two types of water cooling system :

Thermo Siphon SystemIn this system the circulation of water is due to difference in temperature

(i.e. difference in densities) of water. So in this system pump is not required

but water is circulated because of density difference only.

Figure 3.2 Thermo Siphon System of Cooling

Pump Circulation SystemIn this system circulation of water is obtained by a pump. This pump is

driven by means of engine output shaft through V-belts.

3.4 Components of Water Cooling System

Water cooling system mainly consists of :

(a) Radiator,

(b) Thermostat valve,

(c) Water pump,

(d) Fan,

(e) Water Jackets, and

(f) Antifreeze mixtures.
