If your tank leaks, you need a new water heater. For an electric water heater, you also might consider insulating underneath the tank as well. A ridged piece of insulation (or bottom board) will help prevent heat loss into the floor, and could save you another 4%–9% of water heating energy. How can energy loss […]

The cap regulates the maximum pressure, preventing damage to the hoses and radiator. After turning the engine off, the system cools and the coolant contracts significantly. The cap therefore has a return valve that admits air from the atmosphere or coolant from an expansion tank, if fitted. What are the four functions of a radiator […]

LT or low temperature fresh water is used to cool the engine, and HT or High Temperature Sea water is used to cool water in the Low temperature circuit via a heat exchanger. What does LT cooler mean? Low TemperatureThe cooling system has two systems Low Temperature (LT) and High Temperature (HT). LT cooling system […]

A cooling water temperature of approximately 80°C (176°F) and cooling water pressure of 3 bar (44 psi) is standard for most engines operating under load. Cooling water is sometimes referred to as ‘jacket water’ due to the ‘jacket’ of water surrounding the combustion space. What is jacket water system? A water jacket is a water-filled […]

Most marine inboard engines are fresh water cooled. Much like your car, a captive amount of freshwater (coolant) is continually circulated through a heat exchanger that maintains the engine at a temperature set by the thermostat. How does a boat engine cool? Most newer marine engines use an enclosed cooling system. This means that there […]

What are Engine Block Heaters? Also known as Water Jacket Heaters and Engine Pre-Heaters, engine block heaters are essential for maintaining ideal starting temperatures for your diesel and natural gas generators. What is the other name of cooling jacket? Answer: A cooling jacket, also referred to as a flow generator, ensures that there is always […]

Wider dimple jackets improve the flow of glycol around the tank doors for more uniform temperature throughout the tank. Uniform tank cooling is maintained with wider dimple jackets even when used with multiple doors and specialized ports. What is dimple jacket tank? A dimple jacket is a machine formed sheet material that is welded to […]

A water-cooled cooling system A water-cooled engine block and cylinder head have interconnected coolant channels running through them. At the top of the cylinder head all the channels converge to a single outlet. Does coolant run through a cylinder head? The coolant follows a path that takes it from the water pump, through passages inside […]

The water pump, often referred to as the coolant pump, circulates liquid coolant through the radiator and engine cooling system, and is powered by the engine itself. It ensures that the engine temperature is maintained at a safe level while operating. Why is it called a water pump and not a coolant pump? It’s called […]

Pump cooling systems prevent overheating by transferring heat from the motor to outside the pump. There are several types of cooling systems commonly used in pumps. These are direct contact, integrated cooling, internal cooling, and external cooling. What is a pump water cooling? Cooling water pumps are used for supplying heat exchangers with cooling water. […]

A pump is a machine used to move, compress, or transfer water. There are a number of different types of pumps available: jet pumps, centrifugal pumps, gear pumps, peristaltic pumps, gravity pumps, and impulse pumps. All of them are useful across a number of different industries. What is the purpose of pump? A pump is […]

The water pump is the heart of the cooling system. It circulates the coolant through the engine, radiator and heater core. What parts are in a cooling system? The major components of the cooling system are the water pump, freeze plugs, the thermostat, the radiator, cooling fans, the heater core, the pressure cap, the overflow […]

Higher flow, low head centrifugal pumps are usually used for the high volumes of water transfer into the cooling towers. What is a cooling water pump? Cooling water pumps are used for supplying heat exchangers with cooling water. Their flow rate varies depending on the heat flow to be dissipated. The required head is determined […]

Cooling water pumps are used for supplying heat exchangers with cooling water. Their flow rate varies depending on the heat flow to be dissipated. The required head is determined by the type of cooling system. A distinction is made between wet cooling and dry cooling processes. What is the cooling system? cooling system, apparatus employed […]

Open the hood and locate the engine coolant reservoir. It is often a translucent white color, and has hose(s) connecting it to the radiator. The reservoir has a fill range marked on the side. If your engine is cold, the coolant level should be up to the cold fill line. What does engine coolant go […]

If you prefer synthetic insulation, our PrimaLoft® insulation is a lightweight, high-loft insulation that makes up some of our warmest men’s jackets. How do North Face jackets keep you warm? The North Face uses traditional goose down fill for its warmest jackets to keep you warm. There are other types of insulation available too, including […]

Newer leather is more taut and firm; when it rubs against itself, it will fight the friction, causing the fabric to squeak. Many times a jacket needs to be worn and lived in to relax it. Move around a lot in your jacket while at home. How can I make my leather jacket less loud? […]

A synthetic blend of fibers, acrylic fabric is quite hot — and often itchy — against the skin, so while it might wick away any sweat you spill, it will likely be the reason your body is drenched in the first place. What material makes you sweat more? Nylon isn’t breathable and will trap heat […]

The main difference between polyester and acrylic is that polyester is more breathable and acrylic is a better insulator. Both fabrics are synthetics manufactured out of petroleum. Polyester is a versatile material popular in many types of garments, while acrylic is used for warm-weather clothing. What material is better than acrylic? Polycarbonate is the stronger […]

Carhartt clothing is made from quality material and they last long and can take daily, rough use. Their street wear may not be as durable and hard-wearing as their work wear but then it is definitely better than most brands available in the market today. On the whole, the quality is just great. Is Carhartt […]
