About Lesson
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.
