At what temperature does the Chevrolet Cruze thermostat open?
1 Answers
The Chevrolet Cruze thermostat opens at around 70 to 80 degrees Celsius. The working principle of the thermostat is that when the cooling temperature is below the specified value, the refined paraffin in the thermostat's temperature-sensitive body remains solid, and the thermostat valve closes the channel between the engine and the radiator under the action of the spring. The coolant returns to the engine via the water pump, performing a small circulation within the engine. The thermostat is a valve that controls the flow path of the coolant and is an automatic temperature-regulating device, usually containing a temperature-sensitive component that opens or closes the flow of air, gas, or liquid through expansion or contraction. The Chevrolet Cruze is a compact car equipped with a 1.4T 150 horsepower L4 engine, with a maximum power of 110 kW and a maximum torque of 240 Nm.
