Write merits and demerits of air cooling system?

Answer»

Merits of an air-cooling system:

• Air-cooled engines operate extremely well in both hot and cold climates.

• Air-cooled engines are lighter than similar sized liquid/ water cooled engines. 

• Air-cooled engines have no coolant leakage or freezing problems.

Demerits of an air-cooling system: 

• The large quantities of intake air passing into the cooling system can make the engine noisy. 

• Each cylinder has to be separately cast, whereas a rigid mono block construction is used by liquid/ water-cooled engines. 

• To increase the air-cooling effect, an oil heat exchanger is required to prevent overheating of the lubricant.
