摘要：Today, the demand of automobile vehicles is on peak. So, it is a great challenge for automotiveindustries to provide an efficient and economical engine. The performance of an engine affects by various systems likefuel supply system, lubrication system, transmission system, cooling system etc. So, it becomes essential to accountthem while designing an engine for improves the engines performance. Cooling system is one of the important systemsamongst all. It is responsible to carry large amount of heat waste to surroundings for efficient working of an engine. Italso enhances heat transfer and fuel economy which leads to maximize the performance of an engine. Most internalcombustion engines are fluid cooled using either air or a liquid coolant run through a heat exchanger (radiator) cooledby air. The heat transfer through radiator can be improved by maximizing the heat transfer area and increasing the heattransfer coefficient. The heat transfer coefficient can be increased either by using more efficient heat transfer methodsor by improving the thermo physical properties of the heat transfer material i.e. coolant. Earlier, Water was widely usedin radiator as a coolant for its good ability to holding heat, transfer heat and can be readily obtained. Also the mixtureof water & ethylene glycol later introduced as a coolant. Both of them having certain merits & demerits. With theadvancement of our new generation can use the Di-ethylene glycol by increasing the carbon chain of the ethyleneoxide.This comprehensive experiment on cooling system importance, coolant used in automobiles and its limitationsand applications and challenges of Di-ethylene glycol as a coolant have been compiled and reviewed for automobileradiator.
