There parts must be protected by lubricating oil so that there will be no actual metal-to-metal contact. The moving parts , in effect , float on films of oil .Two types of lubricating systems h

It covers the surfaces of the moving parts to prevent metal-to-metal contact and undue wear of the parts.In this system , cylinder walls are lubricated by splashing oil thrown off frem the connecting-rod bearings.The lubricating oil ci

It must have proper viscosity (body and fluidity) and must resist oxidation , and foaming . Also , it must act as a good cleatning agent , must pour at low temperatures , and must h

Lubricating-oil manufactures therefore put a number of additives into the oil during the manufacturing process . An oil for s

10、g system is to keep the engine at its most efficient operating temperature at all engine speeds and all driving conditions . A great deal of heat is produced in the engine by the burning of the air-fuel mixture. Some of this heat escapes from the engine through the exhaust gases ( the hot gases left
11、 after the gasoline is burned ) . But enough remains in the engine to cause serious trouble unless removed by some other means . The cooling bybtem take care 第 3 页 共 8 页 of this additional heat.The cooling system is built into the engine . There are hollow spaces around each engine cylinder and comb
12、ustion chamber . These hollow spaces are called water jackets , since they are filled with water . When the engine is running , the water takes heat from the engine , becoming hot in the process . A water pump pumps the hot water from the engine water jackets into the radiator . The radiator has two
13、 sets of passages . One set carries water . The other set carries aie ( pulled thrugh by car motionand the engine fan ) . As the hot water passes through ,it gives up its heat to the air passing through . The cooled water then reenters the engine , where it can pick up more heat . In operation , wat
14、er continuously circulates between the engine and radiator , carrying heat form the engine to the radiator . By this means , excessive engine temperatures are prevented.Two general types of cooling systems are used , air cooling and liquid cooling . Most automotive engines now employ liquid cooling
15、. The liquid cooling system consists of water pumps , water jackets , engine fan , radiator and so on . The water pump , driver by a belt from the engine crankshaft , circulates the cooling liquid between the radiator and engine water jackets . The cooling liquid is water . Antifreeze compounds are
16、added to the water during the winter . The water jacket are cast into the cylinder blocks and heads . The engine fan is usually mounted on the water pump shaft and is driven by the same belt that drives the pump and the generator . The purpose of the fan is to provide a powerful draft of air through the radiator . The radiator is a device for holding a large volume of water in close contact with a large volume of air so that heat will transfer from the water to the air . The ra
