The Study of Cavitation Erosion Protection Performance of Heavy-Duty Engine Coolants

Article Preview

Abstract:

Ultrasonic vibratory cavitation erosion tests were carried out on studying the cavitation erosion protection performance of different type of heavy-duty engine coolants for cast iron material of wet sleeve cylinder liners. The influence of coolant type, freezing point, corrosion inhibitor content and test duration on anti-cavitation performance were analysed. The experimental results showed that the anti-cavitation erosion performance of organic acid type heavy-duty engine coolants were better than the inorganic salt type heavy-duty engine coolants. For the same formulation coolant, increasing the content of ethylene glycol or corrosion inhibitor can improve the anti-cavitation erosion performance. With the extension of ultrasonic vibration test time, the anti-cavitation erosion protection performance for cast iron was reduced.
