Understanding Coolant Types is Important to Your Engine and Cooling System By Brad Jordan, OEM Technical Services Manager, Shell Global Solutions As an OEM Technical Services Manager for Shell Lubricants, one of my primary responsibilities is working with vehicle and engine manufacturers...
Engines can also be categorized by their cooling system, either liquid- or air-cooled. Every engine needs to cool off, so it doesn’t overheat. Air-cooled systems let air in to cool off the engine, while liquid-cooled systems use oil or water to transfer the heat away from the eng...
as well as increase water’s boiling point. With these properties added to water, the proper engine cooling can take place. Ethelyn glycol has superior heat exchanging properties but is far more toxic than propylene glycol. Never mix the 2 glycol groups...
Software applications need to meet a new standard of intelligence. The static “if-this-then-that” systems that once impressed users—like music streaming services that recommend the same generic playlists to everyone—now feel frustratingly primitive. What users expect are systems that recognize thei...
Ethylene glycol (EG) (typically used in combustion engine cooling) and propylene glycol (PG) are the two most used glycols in these mixtures. Also referred to as coolant or antifreeze solutions, they are organic compounds known for their ability to lower the freezing point of water and ...
Supporting components like cooling systems, DC/DC converters, charge ports, transmissions, and electronics also play key roles in power management and delivery. How do you charge an Electric Vehicle? There are two main ways to charge an EV: Level 1: Provides 2–5 miles of range per hour whe...
The similarity of these engines is that both require starters, ignition sources, inlet air filters, inlet fuel systems, cooling systems, and monitoring systems. The chapter describes the industrial type gas turbines and aero-derivative type gas turbines while focusing on gas turbine drive ...
Overheating: Dust buildup or faulty cooling systems can cause overheating, affecting performance. Understanding these causes helps in selecting appropriate solutions. Effective Solutions for Computer Errors Addressing computer errors involves a variety of approaches. Here are several effective methods: ...
Over time, steam engines evolved into what we recognize today, adopting features like piston systems and compound engine systems. Steam engines were once widely used, but they have fallen out of favor since they are more convenient and efficient than modern IC engines. If you can handle their ...
For example, if the BMS detects that the battery is becoming overcharged, it can reduce the charging current to prevent damage. Similarly, if the battery is becoming too hot, the BMS can activate cooling systems to prevent overheating.
