In the spring of 2020, a team of engineers at the Idaho National Laboratory (INL) embarked on a groundbreaking project to design a microreactor test facility that could transform the world’s energy ...

With more advanced engine metallurgy and design, and the demand for increased fuel efficiency and lower emissions, engine operating temperatures have increased more than 40 F in the last 50 years.

Researchers at the US Department of Energy's Idaho National Laboratory have used the lab's Transient Reactor Test Facility to perform the first test of its kind to be carried out in the USA for more ...

Being able to verify the quality of lubricants is crucial for ensuring engine functionality. Credit: 3d_illustrator via Shutterstock. Lubricants and coolants are critical in engines to minimise the ...

Where a coolant's neutralization number is related to the quantity of acid- or base-forming materials in a solution, pH indicates their intensity - and can indicate things going wrong in the cooling ...

PEAK, a division of Old World Industries, has released Final Charge coolant testing strips to measure the quality of engine coolant in commercial vehicles. “We all know that high-performing, fully ...

Cooling system problems are believed to cause about 40 percent of unanticipated downtime. Once problems from overheating start, they spread throughout the engine. Because today's lower-emission ...
