The engine cooling system

engine cooling system-how does it function?

The engine cooling is necessary to prevent overheating of its components. Quality of cooling is influenced by performance, efficiency of operation of the power unit, its life.

ways of cooling the power unit

cooling can be airy, hybrid. In air systems, heat is carried out at the expense of forced air flow, which is organized by fans. Air systems are found on old carriages, Honda, Citroen, Volkswagen. In modern cars with transversely arranged engines, to build an effective cooling system is very problematic.

in hybrid systems use an intermediate carrier of heat antifreeze. It is he who carefully "envelops" the cylinder block. As a outlet agent, the air acts. Quite liquid systems are not found today, and hybrids are used everywhere.

What is the cooling system?

hybrid systems consist of:

1. "water shirt". Zones with excess heat around the engine are filled with a cool liquid.
2. Thermostat. It is located between the pipeline of the radiator and the "water shirt". When the valve is opened, the liquid from the shirt enters the thermostat, where it cools and turns back with the bypass.
3. radiator. It is located in the front of the hood for effective blowing on the counter stream of air. It is made of aluminum, combinations of plastic and metal, or copper and brass. Consists of many tubes fixed on 2 tanks.
4. fan. Needed to inject air.
5. pump. Used for uninterrupted circulation of the coolant.
6. temperature sensor. The signal is fed to the control unit and then the fan and other thermal media.

The engine cooling system usually fails completely. Replacers require individual components. You can find all the necessary components for repair in the SUV catalog.
