Q

understand engine cooling systems

A

The burning fuel within the engine produces intense heat, most of which is
expelled through the exhaust system. Much of the remaining heat, however,
must be removed, or at least dissipated, to prevent the engine from
overheating.
• While the oil system is vital to the internal cooling of the engine, an
additional method of cooling is necessary for the engine’s external surface.
Most small aircraft are air cooled, although some are liquid cooled.
