COOLING SYSTEM OF DIESEL POWER PLANT
During combustion process the peak gas temperature in the cylinder of an internal combustion
engine is of the order of 2500 K. Maximum metal temperature for the inside of the combustion chamber
space are limited to much lower values than the gas temperature by a large number of considerations and
thus cooling for the cylinder head, cylinder and piston must therefore be provided. Necessity of engine
cooling arises due to the following facts
