Water-Cooled Systems

• Functionality:

  • Uses liquid coolant (typically water mixed with antifreeze) to absorb and remove heat from the engine.
  • More efficient than air cooling for larger and more powerful generators.

• Components:

  • Radiator: Transfers heat from the coolant to the air.
  • Water Pump: Circulates coolant through the engine and radiator.
  • Thermostat: Regulates coolant flow based on engine temperature.
  • Coolant Reservoir: Stores excess coolant and maintains pressure within the system.
  • Hoses and Pipes: Transport coolant between engine components.

• Advantages:

  • Superior cooling capacity for high-performance engines.
  • Maintains consistent engine temperature under varying loads.
  • Supports larger and more powerful generator sets.

• Applications:

  • Used in industrial, commercial, and heavy-duty generator sets where high efficiency and reliability are required.
