SAE International Journal of Engines, Vol. 2, No. 1 (2009), pp. 77-82 (6 pages) ABSTRACT Automotive manufacturers and engineers have paid attention to promoting engine performance with low emissions ...

When you cut to the basic principles of heavy-duty trucks it comes down to return on investment: maximum mpg, meeting emissions requirements and the truck running at optimum conditions and ...

Failure to properly maintain your cooling system is a leading cause of catastrophic diesel engine problems, accounting for approximately 40% of engine failures. The damage being done is difficult to ...

The continuous drive for enhanced efficiency and reliability in modern diesel engines has prompted extensive research into the thermal management of critical components such as pistons. The ...

For diesel engine users, temperature control is a bigger concern than ever as engine makers wrestle with meeting Tier 3 and 4 emissions requirements. While electric fans, clutches, or variable pitch ...

We don't know the exact number, but there must be literally hundreds of thousands of 6.2L and 6.5L engines roaming the world. Loved by some and despised by others, these engines have the distinction ...

When an internal combustion engine burns fuel, heat is created at temperatures as high as 4000°F (2200°C). This heat must be removed by some form of cooling. The two most common ways to dissipate heat ...

Engine overheating is rarely the result of a single failure. It usually happens when several small weaknesses in the cooling system line up, from low coolant to a stuck thermostat or a failing fan. To ...

A vehicle’s engine-cooling system serves not just to keep the engine cool, but to also keep its temperature warm enough to ensure efficient, clean operation. System components include a radiator to ...

Responsible car ownership means checking your fluid levels at least once or twice a month. If you are a first-time diesel engine owner, you may wonder if it's safe to use regular coolant in your ...
