  2. Ford Model T engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Model_T_engine

    Ford Model T engine. Side view of the Ford Model T engine. [ 1] The Ford Model T used a 177 cu in (2.9 L) sidevalve, reverse-flow cylinder head inline 4-cylinder engine. It was primarily a gasoline engine. It produced 20 hp (14.9 kW) for a top speed of 45 mph (72 km/h). It was built in-unit with the Model T's novel transmission (a planetary ...

  3. Radiator (engine cooling) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiator_(engine_cooling)

    The engine temperature on modern cars is primarily controlled by a wax-pellet type of thermostat, a valve that opens once the engine has reached its optimum operating temperature. When the engine is cold, the thermostat is closed except for a small bypass flow so that the thermostat experiences changes to the coolant temperature as the engine ...

  4. Digifant engine management system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digifant_Engine_Management...

    Digifant is an Engine Management System operated by an Engine Control Unit that actuates outputs, such as fuel injection and ignition systems, using information derived from sensor inputs, such as engine speed, exhaust oxygen and intake air flow. [ 1] Digifant was designed by Volkswagen Group, in cooperation with Robert Bosch GmbH .

  5. Thermostat - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermostat

    Car engine thermostat. Perhaps the most common example of purely mechanical thermostat technology in use today is the internal combustion engine cooling system thermostat, used to maintain the engine near its optimum operating temperature by regulating the flow of coolant to an air-cooled radiator. This type of thermostat operates using a ...

  6. Internal combustion engine cooling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internal_combustion_engine...

    Internal combustion engine cooling uses either air or liquid to remove the waste heat from an internal combustion engine. For small or special purpose engines, cooling using air from the atmosphere makes for a lightweight and relatively simple system. Watercraft can use water directly from the surrounding environment to cool their engines.

  7. Wax thermostatic element - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wax_thermostatic_element

    The wax thermostatic element was invented in 1934 by Sergius Vernet (1899–1968). [1] Its principal application is in automotive thermostats used in the engine cooling system. The first applications in the plumbing and heating industries were in Sweden (1970) and in Switzerland (1971). Wax thermostatic elements transform heat energy into ...

  8. Turbocharger - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbocharger

    In an internal combustion engine, a turbocharger (also known as a turbo or a turbosupercharger) is a forced induction device that is powered by the flow of exhaust gases. It uses this energy to compress the intake air, forcing more air into the engine in order to produce more power for a given displacement. [ 1][ 2] The current categorisation ...

  9. Otto cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otto_cycle

    It is the thermodynamic cycle most commonly found in automobile engines. [ 1] The Otto cycle is a description of what happens to a gas as it is subjected to changes of pressure, temperature, volume, addition of heat, and removal of heat. The gas that is subjected to those changes is called the system.
