How things work engine cooling system
COOLING SYSTEM
An automobiles cooling system is the collection of parts and substances (coolants) that work together to maintain the engines temperature to optimum levels. Comprising many different components such as water pump, coolant, a thermostat etc. the system enables smooth and efficient functioning of the engine at the same time protecting it from damage.
MAJOR COMPONENT LIST
- Water Pump
- Radiator
- Water Jacket
- Thermostat
- Water Pump
The purpose of a car water pump is to push coolant through the car's engine block, radiator and hoses to get the engine heat away from the system. Most frequently, the water pump drives off the crankshaft itself.
- Radiator
Radiators are heat exchangers used for cooling internal combustion engines, mainly in automobiles but also in piston engine aircraft, railway locomotives, motorcycles, stationary generating plant or any similar use of such an engine.
- Water Jacket
It is designed to keep engine block and cylinder head cool. When engine is running at normal operating temperature, the coolant is forced through the water jackets in the engine block, through the head gasket, into the head and back to the radiator.
- Thermostat
A thermostat is a component which senses the temperature of a system so that the system's temperature is maintained near a desired set point.
