<p>Created Page + Added Basic Sections/Info</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>=Basics=<br /> *This page compares air cooled, and liquid cooled ICE&#039;s<br /> <br /> =Air Cooled=<br /> ==Advantages==<br /> *Simplicity (no coolant, no coolant pump + other parts in the system)<br /> *Lower Mass <br /> *Less Space Taken Up<br /> <br /> ==Disadvantages==<br /> *May require design focused on this (cooling fins, airflow etc)<br /> *In systems without active airflow, once not moving (ie car is at a stoplight) most cooling goes away<br /> *Harder to intentionally move heat around (for cabin heating, [[Engine Heat Recovery]] etc<br /> <br /> =Liquid Cooled=<br /> ==Advantages==<br /> *Higher Amount of Heat Can Be Moved (higher potential power + possible lower emmisions)<br /> *More consistant (assuming compared to passive air cooling)<br /> *Makes moving heat around easier (pump fluid where heat is needed, then simple air-liquid heat exchanger)<br /> *Allows for easier [[Intercooler]]s ?<br /> <br /> ==Disadvantages==<br /> *Added complexity<br /> *Needs some sort of cooling fluid<br /> *If fluid is lost catastrophically, it can damage the engine<br /> *Added mass + space taken up<br /> <br /> =Internal Links=<br /> *<br /> <br /> =External Links=<br /> *[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internal_combustion_engine_cooling The Wikipedia Page on Internal Engine Cooling]</div>
