Is it okay for the engine compartment to have high temperatures in summer?

[McJulian]

High temperatures in the engine compartment during summer are normal. As long as the water temperature warning light on the dashboard is not activated, it indicates the engine is operating normally. Automotive engines use water cooling for heat dissipation. Here are the details: 1. Car Radiator: The car radiator, also known as the heat exchanger, is a key component of the car's cooling system and part of the vehicle's heat dissipation system. Most cars use water-cooled engines, which rely on coolant circulating continuously within the engine to dissipate heat. 2. Function of the Car Radiator: To dissipate heat. The coolant absorbs heat in the water jacket, releases it when flowing through the radiator, and then returns to the water jacket, continuously cycling to achieve heat dissipation and temperature regulation.
