For most automotive applications, liquid cooled engines are desired since liquids give more efficient heat transfer and maintain uniform metal temperatures. In modem day engines, 60% of heat of combustion must be dissipated either through the exhaust or cooling system. Water has been a component of almost all engine coolants despite its corrosiveness, tendency to expand upon freezing, and relatively high freezing point. Ethylene glycol, however, is a most efficient chemical additive to dispel these disadvantages.Design considerations, components, and the testing of an integrated cooling system for a passenger car engine are outlined in this paper.
