What is the difference between the small circulation and the large circulation?
1 Answers
The differences between the small circulation and the large circulation: 1. Different routes: The large circulation route includes the water pump, distribution pipe, cylinder block water jacket, cylinder head water jacket, thermostat, radiator, and back to the water pump; the small circulation route includes the water pump, distribution pipe, cylinder block water jacket, cylinder head water jacket, thermostat, and back to the water pump. 2. Different cooling methods: The large circulation requires passing through the radiator for cooling; the small circulation does not need to pass through the radiator for cooling. When the engine is just started, the coolant first undergoes small circulation, which helps the engine quickly reach its normal operating temperature. Once the normal operating temperature is reached, the coolant then switches to large circulation to maintain the engine within a reasonable working temperature range.
