There parts must be protected by lubricating oil so that there will be no actual metal-to-metal contact. The moving parts , in effect , float on films of oil . Two types of lubricating systems ha

In the splash lubricating system , oil is splashed up from the oil pan or oil trays in the lower part of the crankcase .Theo il is thrown upward as droplets or fine mist and provides adequate lubricatio

In the combination splash and prcssure fcad lubricating system , an oil pump takes oil from the oil pan and forces it through holes drilled in the engine block and crankshaft. This oil thereby reaches the various bearings that s

In this system , cylinder walls are lubricated by splashing oil thrown off frem the connecting-rod bearings. The lubricating

It must have proper viscosity (body and fluidity) and must resist oxidation , and foaming . Also , it must act as a good cleatning agent , must pour at low tem
8、peratures , and must have good viscosity at extremes of high and must have good viscosity at extremes of high and low temperature. Any mineral oil , by itself , does not have all there properties . Lubricating-oil manufactures therefore put a number of additives into the oil during the manufacturing

An oil for severe service may have many additives , as follows: (1) usually a viscosity-index improver； (2) pour-point depressants； (3) oxidation inhibitors； (4) corrosion inhibitors； (5) rust inhibitors； (6) foam inhibitors； (7) detergent-dispersants； (8) extreme-pressure agents.

10、 Cooling System The purpose of the cooling system is to keep the engine at its most efficient operating temperature at all engine speeds and all driving conditions . A great deal of heat is produced in the engine by the burning of the air-fuel mixture. Some of this heat escapes from the engine throu
11、gh the exhaust gases ( the hot gases left after the gasoline is burned ) . But enough remains in the engine to cause serious trouble unless removed by some other means . The cooling bybtem take care of this additional 第 3 页 共 9 页 heat. The cooling system is built into the engine . There are hollow s
12、paces around each engine cylinder and combustion chamber . These hollow spaces are called water jackets , since they are filled with water . When the engine is running , the water takes heat from the engine , becoming hot in the process . A water pump pumps the hot water from the engine water jacket
13、s into the radiator . The radiator has two sets of passages . One set carries water . The other set carries aie ( pulled thrugh by car motionand the engine fan ) . As the hot water passes through ,it gives up its heat to the air passing through . The cooled water then reenters the engine , where it
14、can pick up more heat . In operation , water continuously circulates between the engine and radiator , carrying heat form the engine to the radiator . By this means , excessive engine temperatures are prevented. Two general types of cooling systems are used , air cooling and liquid cooling . Most au
15、tomotive engines now employ liquid cooling . The liquid cooling system consists of water pumps , water jackets , engine fan , radiator and so on . The water pump , driver by a belt from the engine crankshaft , circulates the cooling liquid b etween the radiator and engine water jackets . The cooling
16、 liquid is water . Antifreeze compounds are added to the water during the winter . The water jacket are cast into the cylinder blocks and heads . The engine fan is usually mounted on the water pump shaft and is driven by the same belt that drives the pump and the generator . The purpose of the fan i
17、s to provide a powerful draft of air through the radiator . The radiator is a device for holding a large volume of water in close contact with a large volume of air so that heat will transfer from the water to the air . The radiator core is divided into two separate and intricate compartments ； water passes through one , and air passes through the other . Battery Generator
