Excerpt from International Library of Technology, Vol. 1: Automobile-Engine Auxiliaries; Automobile Carbureters; Electric Ignition; Transmission and Control Mechanism; Bearings and Lubrication; Automobile Tires Many automobile engines are cooled by circulating water or some other liquid through the space between the outer wall of the cylinder and a jacket casing that surrounds the cylinder head and the part of the cylinder barrel nearest the head. Air is used for cooling in only a comparatively small proportion of automobile engines, and in some cases oil is used in winter as the cooling medium. About the only objection to the use of water for cooling is that it is liable to freeze in cold weather. In order to over come this objection, various substances are added to the water or dissolved in it so as to form a mixture that will not freeze until the temperature is considerably below that at which pure or nearly pure water freezes.
