The heat is transferred from the cylinder walls and other parts
by convection and conduction. The liquid becomes heated in its passage
through the jackets and is in turn cooled by means of an air-cooled radiator
system. The heat from liquid in turn is transferred to air. Hence it is called
the indirect cooling system.
The hot fluid flows through the pipe p1 to the tank B where it gets
cooled. Thus the fluid circulated through the system in the form of
convection currents.
For engine application, tank A represents the cylinder jackets while
tank B represents a radiator and water acts the circulating fluid. In order to
ensure that coolest water is always made available to cylinder jackets, the
water jackets are located at a lower level than the radiator.
This system is used in a large number of automobiles like cars, buses and
even heavy trucks. Here, flow of water from radiators to water jackets is by
convection assisted by a pump.
