Sr. No. |
Air cooling System
|
Water cooling system
|
1 |
In this system cooling medium used is Air
|
In this system cooling medium used is Water
|
2 |
The engine design is simple
|
The engine design is complex
|
3 |
The air cooled engine is less sensitive to climate condition.
|
Engine performance becomes more sensitive to climate conditions
|
4 |
Air cooling system has no maintenance
|
It requires maintenance. slight leakage of radiator may result in engine breakdown
|
5 |
The worm up performance is better this results in low cylinder wear
|
The worm up performance is poor this results in greater cylinder wear
|
6 |
Size of engine is small and weigh is less as there is no water jacket, radiator and water pump
|
Size and weight of engine is increased to use of due radiator and water pump
|
7 |
Air cooled engine must be installed in front side. the vehicle
|
Water cooled engine can be installed anywhere on the vehicle
|
8 |
Volumetric efficiency is lower due to high cylinder head temperature
|
Volumetric efficiency is greater than air cooled engine.
