How does Evans Waterless HDTC prevent cylinder liner cavitation erosion?
Cylinder liner cavitation erosion is a problem in water-based coolant systems. As the piston moves inside the cylinder there is vibration of the liner. The vibration of the liner against the coolant alternately makes low and high pressures. During the low pressure instant, vapor is created by flash vaporization. During the adjacent high pressure instant, the vapor collapses against the cylinder liner. This repeated action causes an attack against the metal liner, resulting in cavitation erosion.
