.INTRODUCTION...
The name INTELLIGENT COOLING SYSTEM represents the
improved function of a cooling system. The name is so given
because in this system a sensor senses the cylinder temperature
& controls the opening & closing of water passage in piston-
cylinder [Link] basic principle behind this is to
control flow rate of coolant by regulating the valve by
implementing FUZZY LOGIC.

.....NECESSITY OF COOLING SYSTEM..
The even expansion of the piston in the cylinder may result in the
seizure of the piston.
High temperature reduces the strength of piston.
Overheated cylinder may lead to pre-ignition of fuel.
Physical and chemical change may occur in the lubricating oil
which may cause sticking of piston ring and excessive wear of
cylinder.
If cylinder head temperature is high then power output of engine
is reduced.

.BASIC COMPONENTS OF COOLING SYSTEM.
Radiator
Thermostat Valve
Water Pump
Cooling Fan
Water Jackets
Coolant
Antifreeze Mixture

1. Radiator
Radiators are heat exchangers used to transfer thermal
energy from one medium to another for the purpose of cooling
and heating.
7
2. Thermostat Valve
It is a valve which prevents the flow of water from engine to radiator
until the engine warmed up. When engine is cooled no coolant, flow
through the engine.
8
3. Water Pump
It is used to pump the circulating water. The water pump is a simple
centrifugal pump driven by a belt connected to the crankshaft of the
engine. The pump circulates fluid whenever the engine is running.
9
4. Cooling Fan
It is driven by the engine output shaft through the same belt that
drives the pump. It is provided behind the radiator and it blows
air over the radiator for cooling purpose.

5. Water Jacket
Cooling water jackets are provided around the cylinder, cylinder head,
valve seats, and any hot part which are to be cooled. Heat generated in
the cylinder is conducted to the Jacket.

6. Antifreeze Mixture
Methyl, ethyl & isopropyl alcohols
A solution of alcohol and water
Ethylene Glycol
Glycerin along with water, etc.
To prevent the freezing of cooling water in western countries
antifreeze mixture are added to the cooling water.
There are the following type of antifreeze mixtures :-

..AIR COOLED SYSTEM..
In the air cooled system the heat is dissipated through the fins
provided on the cylinder barrel. This method increase the cooling
rate. Fins are provided right angle to the cylinder axis.
Engines (Two Wheelers)
Electric Motors
Gas compressors
Industrial & Agriculture
Engines

..WATER COOLED SYSTEM.
In this system water is used and made to circulate through the jackets
provided around the cylinder, cylinder head, valve ports and seats where
it extracts most of heat.

ADVANTAGES OF INTELLIGENT COOLING SYSTEM
Lubricating oil not evaporate and prevent metal to metal contact.
Reduces Thermal stress, hence cracking of piston.
Thermal efficiency will improve.
Prevent Corrosion of Engine parts.
Less maintenance will require.
Proper vaporization of fuel take place.
Less maintenance will require.

DISADVANTAGES OF INTELLIGENT COOLING SYSTEM
Initial cost is high.
Installation is quite difficult.
Complex to Design.
The new type of engine cooling system was developed
to improve the thermal efficiency of the internal
combustion engine. This advanced engine cooling
system consists of Sensors to control the quantity of
coolant into the engine cylinder block. The thermal
efficiency of the internal combustion engine is
increased remarkably by using this type of engine
cooling system.
We can also improve this technique in Electric Motors
,Gas compressors ,Industrial & Agriculture Engines

CONCLUSION
We have proposed an approach to implement fuzzy logic in an
INTELLIGENT COOLING SYSTEM possible implication of the system
and approach discussed with its possible advantages.
