How to Detect Cooling System Malfunctions?
1 Answers
Cooling system malfunction detection methods are: 1. Check if the shutters are closed or have insufficient opening; 2. Inspect the tightness of the fan belt; 3. Verify if the fan clutch is functioning normally and if the fan blade direction is correct; 4. Examine the working efficiency of the water pump. The causes of automotive engine cooling system malfunctions include: 1. Shutters being closed or having insufficient opening; 2. Slippage of the radiator fan belt or damage to the fan blades; 3. Poor performance of the temperature control switch for the electronically controlled fan; 4. Low rotational speed of the axial flow blower in the cooling system, obstructed air ducts, or poor air diversion. Cooling systems can be categorized into air-cooled and water-cooled based on the cooling medium used. A system that dissipates heat from high-temperature engine components directly into the atmosphere is called an air-cooled system, while a system that first transfers this heat to coolant and then dissipates it into the atmosphere is called a water-cooled system.
