What are the components and functions of the cooling system?
1 Answers
Components of the cooling system: The main components include the thermostat, water pump, water pump belt, radiator, cooling fan, water temperature sensor, liquid storage tank, heating device, expansion tank, water jackets in the engine block and cylinder head, and additional devices. The following is an introduction to the functions of the cooling system: 1. Adaptive adjustment: It can change the cooling intensity according to the engine's load, speed, and temperature changes, ensuring rapid engine warm-up and maintaining normal operating temperature. 2. Optimal range: Provides different cooling intensities for different working parts of the engine, dissipating the heat generated during engine operation to the air and ensuring the engine operates within the most suitable temperature range. 3. Proper operation: The cooling system must prevent both engine overheating and excessive cooling in winter. After a cold engine start, the cooling system also ensures rapid warm-up to reach normal operating temperature as quickly as possible.
