INTELLIGENT COOLING SYSTEM

The name “INTELLIGENT COOLING SYSTEM” represents the improved function of cooling systems. We have given this name because in this system the sensor will sense the cylinder temperature as similar as thermostat and will control the opening and closing of water passage in the piston cylinder arrangement. The mass flow rate of water will be controlled by a valve arrangement.For regulating flow rate, a separate programming can be done. In this programming, the piston will be considered as an object and a relation of “temperature = water” can be used for the above purpose.

Our system will work on the same principle of an “INTELLIGENT CARBURETOR” In which its aim is to supply the correct O/P i.e. air fuel mixture by sensing the I/P i.e. operating conditions.

But, the system which attracted the most is the “IDLE SPEED CONTROLLER” which is used to control the idle speed of SI engine.   

ADVANTAGES OF INTELLIGENT COOLING SYSTEM

It will try to maintain the cylinder temperature within the certain limit so that lubricating oil should not evaporate and hence will prevent metal to metal contact.

It will help to reduce the thermal stresses and hence cracking of piston cylinder.

Thermal efficiency will improve.

It will prevent the carbonization of oil since dealing with the optimum temperature.

It will prevent the corrosion of engine parts.

Mechanical efficiency will improve.

Proper vaporization of fuel will take place.

Excessive cooling results in increased viscosity of lubricant oil and hence more friction and  will consume more fuel to overcome the friction and hence results in decrease thermal efficiency. So, our system will prevent the above factors.

During starting, the engine takes some time to reach it's operating temperature and hence it requires less or no coolant to be circulated around if so that it can reach operating temperature easily.

Although initial cost will be more but running cost will be less.

Less maintenance will require.

CONCLUSION

We have proposed an approach to implement fuzzy logic in an "Intelligent Cooling System". Possible implementation  of the system and an approach is discussed along with its possible advantages. The use of such system will solve the problems of technology acceptance in India.Scope for future work would concentrate on type of sensor's, valve opening mechanisms and different coolants.
