THERMAL BATTERY OF INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE OF CONSTRUCTION MACHINERY ^{[№ 10 ' 2011]}
The authors describe the construction of thermal battery by sodium acetate solution. Design of thermal battery represents the case set forth on the outside of the engine and through the absorption of emitted heat engine. Thermal battery can support temperatures during parking spaces to ensure reliable engine of construction machinery. The use of thermal battery can reduce wear of engine parts and reduce operating costs for the use of technology.
