What Components Make Up the Cooling System
1 Answers
Engine cooling systems can be divided into two types: water-cooled and air-cooled. Modern vehicles widely adopt water-cooled systems, which mainly consist of the following components: 1. Radiator and cooling fan. 2. Water pump and thermostat. 3. Water jacket and hoses. 4. Coolant expansion tank, coolant temperature gauge, coolant temperature sensor, etc. Below are the functions of an automotive cooling system: 1. Maintain the engine within an appropriate temperature range under all operating conditions. 2. Dissipate heat transferred to the engine during fuel combustion to prevent high-temperature damage to related engine components. 3. Absorb partial heat from heated parts and then transfer it to the vehicle's heat dissipation device, where air-liquid cooling dissipates the heat into the atmosphere.
