The Thermostat's function is to regulate the engine's operating temperature by controlling the flow of coolant through the system.
The Thermostat is located between the engine and the radiator. It consists of a valve that opens and closes based on the temperature of the coolant. When the engine is cold, the thermostat remains closed, preventing coolant from flowing to the radiator. This allows the engine to warm up quickly and reach its optimal operating temperature.
Once the engine reaches the desired temperature, the thermostat opens, allowing coolant to flow to the radiator. This process helps to cool down the engine and maintain a consistent temperature, preventing overheating and ensuring efficient combustion.
The Thermostat is designed to be responsive to changes in temperature. It is equipped with a temperature-sensitive element, such as a wax pellet or a bimetallic strip, which expands or contracts based on the coolant temperature. This movement triggers the opening or closing of the valve, controlling the coolant flow.
Regular inspection and maintenance of the Thermostat are important to ensure its proper functioning. Any signs of malfunction, such as a stuck valve or inaccurate temperature control, should be addressed promptly to prevent engine overheating or inefficient cooling.
It is composed of Upper bracket, Main valve, Push rod, paraffin, Auxiliary valve, Thermostat housing, spring, Lower bracket.
