The function of a radiator is:
uses an impeller to force coolant through the engine coolant passages.
stays closed until operating temperature is reached
stores coolant
primary heat exchanger for the vehicle engine
The function of a water pump is:
uses an impeller to force coolant through the engine coolant passages.
stays closed until operating temperature is reached
stores coolant
primary heat exchanger for the vehicle engine
The function of a coolant reservoir is:
uses an impeller to force coolant through the engine coolant passages.
stays closed until operating temperature is reached
stores coolant
primary heat exchanger for the vehicle engine
The function of a thermostat is:
uses an impeller to force coolant through the engine coolant passages.
stays closed until operating temperature is reached, then allows coolant flow
stores coolant
primary heat exchanger for the vehicle engine
If the thermostat does not open, the engine will typically:
turn off
overheat
lose oil
leak coolant
if a radiator core (fin area) get clogged with dirt and debris, what is the immediate effect?
poor coolant-to-air heat exchange
the coolant will not flow effectively
the cylinder head will warp
the radiator will breach
Tech A states the thermostat temperature can be adjusted to suit operational demands. Tech B states the thermostat is necessary for a vehicle to maintain operating temperature as designed.
