Engine Cooling Systems Excessive heat is always undesirable in both reciprocating and turbine aircraft engines. If means were not available for its control or elimination, major damage or complete engine failure would occur. Although the vast majority of reciprocating ... engines are air cooled, some diesel liquid-cooled engines are being made available for light aircraft. [Figure 6-49] In a liquid-cooled engine, around the cylinder are water jackets, in which liquid coolant is circulated and the coolant takes…
