Automatic Temperature Control System for A 4-Stroke Air-Cooled Motorcycle Engine for Optimum Fuel Consumption

Abstract

One of the primary vital systems for automobiles that manage engine temperature is the cooling system. The efficiency of internal combustion (IC) engines must be improved right now due to a number of variables, including fuel efficiency, the fuel crisis, and eventually higher output. This work suggests an efficient cooling method for an IC engine that is air-cooled. Large amounts of heat are transported to different engine parts during combustion, and if the extra heat is not removed and these elements are not sufficiently cooled, the engine could be damaged. So, one of the main issues with internal combustion engines is adequate cooling. The goal of the current experiment was to demonstrate the idea of intelligent cooling. The intelligent cooling concept is put forth to address the issues that come up when using traditional cooling techniques. When an engine starts in a chilly environment, heat is lost even before the engine reaches the ideal temperature. Lower thermal efficiency and increased fuel consumption are the results of this delay. In this study, an effort was made to evaluate the impact of using a controlled cooling approach for air-cooled engines that maintains an engine's ideal temperature all the time with the option of cooling it only when the engine overheats past the ideal temperature limit.
