View source for Air Cooled vs Liquid Cooled Internal Combustion Engine

=Basics=
*This page compares air cooled, and liquid cooled ICE's
*'''Needs more info'''

=Air Cooled=
==Advantages==
*Simplicity (no coolant, no coolant pump + other parts in the system)
*Lower Mass 
*Less Space Taken Up

==Disadvantages==
*May require design focused on this (cooling fins, airflow etc)
*In systems without active airflow, once not moving (ie car is at a stoplight) most cooling goes away
*Harder to intentionally move heat around (for cabin heating, [[Engine Heat Recovery]] etc

=Liquid Cooled=
==Advantages==
*Higher Amount of Heat Can Be Moved (higher potential power + possible lower emmisions)
*More consistant (assuming compared to passive air cooling)
*Makes moving heat around easier (pump fluid where heat is needed, then simple air-liquid heat exchanger)
*Allows for easier [[Intercooler]]s ?

==Disadvantages==
*Added complexity
*Needs some sort of cooling fluid
*If fluid is lost catastrophically, it can damage the engine
*Added mass + space taken up
