WATER COOLED OIL COOLER : WATER COOLED

Water Cooled Oil Cooler : Cpu Cooler Review 2011.

Water Cooled Oil Cooler

(water cooler) a device for cooling and dispensing drinking water

kept cool or designed to be kept cool by means of water especially circulating water; "a water-cooled engine"

Water cooling is a method of heat removal from components. As opposed to air cooling, water is used as the heat transmitter. Water cooling is commonly used for cooling internal combustion engines in automobiles and large electrical generators.

This looks like a small Radiator used to cool off the engine oil or the Automatic transmission fluid. As air passes through the cooler, the temperature of the oil in the cooler is reduced. Some units reduce the temperature of the manual Gearbox and Differential lubricants in racing cars.

A heat exchanger for cooling oil. Most automatic transmissions are equipped with an oil cooler that's located inside the radiator. Since the radiator usually runs close to 200 degrees, the amount of "cooling" this kind of setup provides is questionable.

Liquid Gold by Yvonne Mbachu

Name: Yvonne Mbachu Category: Natural Title: Liquid Gold Explanation: Title: Liquid Gold Explanation:Molecules composed of mostly non-polar bonds are usually insoluble in water and labeled ‘hydrophobic’. When a highly polar substance such as water is mixed with a non-polar substance such as oil, the mixture will separate into two phases. Interestingly, an oil molecule is in fact attracted to a water molecule with a greater force that the attraction between two oil molecules. However, when an oil molecule originally comes into contact with water, it changes into the shape of a spherical droplet because the oil molecules attract one another. The spherical shape assumed by the oil molecules are due to the interfacial tension between the water phase and the oil, this shape allows the molecule to minimize surface area. As the spherical droplets reach the surface of the water they spread out forming a thin layer as a result of the strong oil-water attraction.

OMW 4 Cylinder Auto Engine, Water Cooled Flathead Designed and Built by Overall Motor Works, CA, 1980’s

Little is known about OMW (Overall Motor Works) and its owner, but it is believed the company was located in or near San Marcos, CA in the 80’s. This is the smaller of only two styles of inline 4-cylinder engines known to be produced by the company. It is a 4-cylinder, water-cooled, flathead (side-valve) that burns methanol on glow ignition. A small amount of oil is added to the crankcase for internal lubrication and caster oil is added to the fuel for upper end lubrication. The entire engine is machined from bar stock and and is only about twice the size of its Perry carburetor. The larger OMW engines, also known as Lars Martin engines, were water-cooled, 4-cylinder, inline engines with red anodized crancases. They are similar to Merritt Zimmerman’s, 1/6-scale, water-cooled, 4-cylinder, Cirrus engines, except they had a single overhead cam.
