Where is the thermostat located?
1 Answers
The car thermostat is installed at the upper water outlet of the engine. The main functions of the thermostat are: 1. When the coolant temperature is relatively low, the thermostat remains closed, allowing only the coolant inside the engine to heat up. This is referred to as the 'small circulation.' 2. When the coolant inside the engine reaches a certain temperature, the thermostat automatically opens, connecting with the radiator to form what is known as the 'large circulation.' Benefits of installing a thermostat in the engine include: 1. Allowing the engine to reach its optimal operating state more quickly. 2. Reducing engine wear. 3. Improving fuel atomization. 4. Increasing the speed of cabin heating.
