【 摘 要 】

The effectiveness of cooling motorcycle engine will affect its performance, therefore required an effective cooling system so as to produce good performance. The V-IXION motorcycle cooling system uses a radiator without an extra fan with a water cooling medium, therefore effective cooling is required in order to produce maximum motor performance. For that done research by varying water coolant to get influence of this treatment to cooling effectivity. This research uses experimental method, by varying the use of three different types of water coolant that is water coolant of brand A, B, C which each type have different concentrate level and tested on V-IXION motorcycle engine. Further temperature measurements are made on the intake and outside manifold radiator under standard air conditions. The results of this study indicate a significant influence on the use of water coolant variations on the effectiveness of heat discharged by the radiator. Based on this analysis, the effectiveness of heat discharged by water coolant shows that brand A has 30% cooling effectiveness, B 24% brand, C 20% brand. This is strongly influenced by the concentrate content contained in water coolant solution.
