What Does the Structure of a Cooling System Include?

Structure of the cooling system: 1. Water pump; 2. Cooling fan; 3. Radiator; 4. Thermostat; 5. Radiator fan; 6. Expansion tank; 7. Water temperature sensor; 8. Engine block; 9. Water jacket in the cylinder head; 9. Heater control valve; 10. Transmission oil. Functions of the cooling system: 1. Adjust the cooling intensity according to the engine's load, speed, and temperature changes to ensure rapid warm-up and maintain normal operating temperature; 2. Provide different cooling intensities for different parts of the engine; 3. Dissipate the heat generated during engine operation into the air to ensure the engine operates within a suitable temperature range.
I remember when I went to the 4S店 for maintenance last time, I specifically asked the mechanic about the structure of the cooling system. He said the core component is that silver mesh radiator, which acts like the outdoor unit of an air conditioner for the entire system, responsible for cooling with fans and air. There's a small water pump next to the engine, spinning with the belt, specifically pushing the coolant to flow through the pipes. There's also a fascinating thermostat, like a smart valve, that automatically cuts off circulation when the engine is cold to help it warm up quickly. In the middle of the pipes, there's a transparent plastic expansion tank where the colorful antifreeze rises and falls with temperature changes. Oh, and the warm air blowing from the steering wheel is achieved by the heater core in the system, which utilizes waste heat from the engine.
