Practice question
What is cylinder liner cavitation in heavy diesel engines, and how do Supplemental Coolant Additives (SCAs) prevent it?
- Oil leaking into the combustion chamber; SCAs seal the piston rings
- High-frequency cylinder wall vibrations creating vacuum bubbles that collapse and erode the metal; SCAs form a protective chemical film
- Fuel mixing with coolant in the radiator; SCAs absorb the fuel molecules
- Rust building up inside the exhaust manifold; SCAs dissolve the rust flakes
Answer: B — High-frequency cylinder wall vibrations creating vacuum bubbles that collapse and erode the metal; SCAs form a protective chemical film
