What Are the Reasons Why the Radiator Temperature Cannot Rise?

Car coolant temperature cannot rise may be due to insufficient coolant in the car, or a malfunctioning cooling fan, or it could be caused by a faulty circulation water pump. Solutions for the coolant temperature not rising: It is necessary to check the coolant level and also to inspect for any oil leaks. If there are no oil leaks, simply adding coolant will suffice. The role of the cooling fan is to transfer the heat generated by the car to the coolant. If the cooling fan malfunctions, it can lead to a failure in the cooling system, and in severe cases, it may even cause the engine to overheat. If this situation occurs while driving, it is important to stop and inspect the vehicle promptly. Additionally, attention should be paid to whether the water pump is malfunctioning, as this can disrupt the engine's water circulation, directly causing the water cooling system to fail, which in turn leads to abnormal water temperature. Generally, water pump abnormalities are caused by seized bearings or damaged shutters, and these issues require immediate repair to avoid affecting the engine's normal operation. It is important to note that under no circumstances should tap water be used as a substitute for antifreeze, nor should different types of antifreeze be mixed, as this could lead to dilution or sedimentation of the antifreeze, ultimately causing it to lose its effectiveness. Any malfunctions should be inspected and repaired promptly, as vehicle safety is not something to be taken lightly. Hazards of the coolant temperature not rising: The temperature of the mixture (or air) entering the cylinder is too low, resulting in poor quality combustible mixture, making ignition difficult or combustion slow, leading to decreased engine power and increased fuel consumption; water vapor in the combustion products is prone to condense into water and combine with acidic gases to form acids, exacerbating corrosion on the engine body and parts; unvaporized fuel can wash away and dilute the oil film on the surfaces of parts (cylinder walls, pistons, piston rings, etc.), accelerating wear on these components.
