cooling fins

См. также в других словарях:

• cooling fins — The fins around the cylinder head of a reciprocating engine, which improve the normal cooling action. The fins increase the area of the cylinder and thus provide for greater heat transfer …   Aviation dictionary

• cooling fins — The greater the surface area that needs to be cooled, the better you will be able to cool off a hot object, like an engine. By putting a number of fins on a surface, you increase the overall area. On air cooled engines, for instance, you will see …   Dictionary of automotive terms

• cooling system — The system that removes heat from the engine. In a water cooled engine it includes radiator, pressure cap, fan, water pump, thermostat, water jackets; in an air cooled engine it consists of a fan, cooling fins, and ducting. Also see closed… …   Dictionary of automotive terms

• fins — A series of blades such as are found in the internal design of the torque converter. To create mechanical torque from hydraulic pressure, oil is forced under pressure through the torque converter. The inside of the converter is made up of layers… …   Dictionary of automotive terms

• cooling system — Apparatus used to keep the temperature of a structure or device from exceeding limits imposed by needs of safety and efficiency. In a mechanical transmission, the oil loses its lubricating capacity if overheated; in a hydraulic coupling or… …   Universalium

• fan cooling — A type of air cooling where a blower is responsible for transporting the amount of air required for the cooling of the engine past the cooling fins, which in turn dissipate the heat stored in them to the current of air flowing past them …   Dictionary of automotive terms

• Water cooling — Cooling tower and water discharge of a nuclear power plant Water cooling is a method of heat removal from components and industrial equipment. As opposed to air cooling, water is used as the heat conductor. Water cooling is commonly used for… …   Wikipedia

• Computer cooling — An OEM AMD heatsink mounted onto a motherboard. Computer cooling is required to remove the waste heat produced by computer components, to keep components within their safe operating temperature limits. Various cooling methods help to improve… …   Wikipedia

• Air cooling — is a method of dissipating heat. It works by making the object to be cooled have a larger surface area or have an increased flow of air over its surface, or both. An example of the former is to add fins to the surface of the object, either by… …   Wikipedia

• Engine cooling — is cooling an engine, typically using either air or liquid.OverviewHeat engines generate mechanical power by extracting energy from heat flows, much as a water wheel extracts mechanical power from a flow of mass falling through a distance.… …   Wikipedia

• Computer cooling — Méthodes de refroidissement pour ordinateur La majorité des composants d un ordinateur chauffent, allant d une très faible production de chaleur pour les lecteurs optiques, à une production beaucoup plus importantes pour le microprocesseur par… …   Wikipédia en Français
