Abstrakt: A variant of the design of the cooling system for a car with the ability to overcome a water barrier is considered. Since land transport is constantly evolving and finds its application not only on public roads, expanding the scope of its use, this topic is relevant. Of particular relevance is the possibility of overcoming water barriers when wading in the case of operating a car in regions with a poorly developed road network-for example, in Siberia, the Far East, the Arctic. The specifics of movement in water imposes its own limitations and makes it impossible to use the standard version of the cooling system and the engine compartment, so a variant with a centrifugal fan and a sealed engine compartment is offered. To prevent water from entering the engine compartment through the air intake or air duct located on the roof of the engine compartment, before forcing the water barrier, the air intake and air duct are closed with dampers, as a result of which air begins to circulate inside the engine compartment. However, the air temperature in the engine compartment will rise quickly, so an additional radiator is installed to cool the air, with coolant supplied from a reservoir located outside the sealed engine compartment. This design will allow the vehicle to move in the aquatic environment, eliminating the possibility of flooding the engine and stopping the car, engine water hammer. The design in question is based on a patent solution. In order to verify the correctness of the proposed solutions, a computer model was developed and the engine operating conditions were simulated in the Flow Simulation program. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
