Open jacket or hopper method

Open jacket or hopper method

  • In this method a hopper or a jacket is provided around the engine cylinder in which the cooling water or coolant is flowing. As long as the hopper contains water, the engine continues to operate satisfactorily. The hopper is large enough to run for several hours without refilling. A drain plug is provided for draining water. This system is not common in present days.
