Why is the hood so hot?
1 Answers
Reasons why the hood gets very hot: 1. The engine temperature rises rapidly just seconds after starting: Because the engine needs to reach a certain temperature to perform optimally. 2. Combustion of the air-fuel mixture in the cylinders: Rapid burning and expansion after ignition to drive piston movement generates enormous heat. 3. Wind generated by vehicle speed and the fan blow radiator heat into the engine compartment: Since the hood is metal, it heats up quickly. 4. Heat from engine operation and the radiator is dissipated to the hood: As long as the temperature gauge on the dashboard does not indicate overheating, there is no problem.
