I am going to post this at the risk of being called a troll.
From your link:
COOLING SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
The conventional spark ignition gasoline engine is
not a very efficient powerplant. A considerable
amount of the available fuel energy must be rejected
from the metal combustion chamber parts by the
coolant and dispersed to the atmosphere through the
radiator. This heat rejection is necessary in order to
prevent thermal fatigue of the pistons, cylinder walls,
and the cylinder head. Another problem is that the
combustion chamber must be cooled enough to prevent
preignition and detonation
Last I looked the BX series is diesel.
LoL.
Please elaborate on how the thermal characteristics, and cooling system operation specifically, differ between a gasoline internal combustion engine (aka spark ignition) and a diesel internal combustion engine (aka compression ignition).
Let's see, common to both:
1) 4 cycle operation (intake, compression, power, exhaust) -- check.
2) some method of ignition for the fuel/air mixture -- check.
3) expansion of hot gases driving a reciprocating piston -- check.
4) water jackets surrounding the cylinder(s) -- check.
5) water passages built into the block and head assembly -- check.
6) crank/pulley driven water pump to circulate coolant -- check.
7) radiator which acts as a coolant-to-air heat exchanger via forced convection cooling -- check.
8) thermostat to regulate coolant flow, thereby regulating engine temperature -- check.
So, please, educate us in detail on how gasoline and diesel engine liquid cooling systems differ?
