More about the Cooling System
Your vehicle’s cooling system is essential to its operation. The engine generates an incredible amount of heat through friction and combustion. Without a functioning cooling system, your car quickly overheats. We’ll thoroughly check your vehicle and accurately diagnose the underlying trouble before repairing. However, we’re glad to share information about the functionality and possible problems. The radiator, for instance, is constructed using many fluid-carrying tubes. It uses fins to get maximum surface air exposure, and a fan also forces air across it. Heat is released into the open air, allowing the coolant to circulate to collect more heat. If the radiator becomes blocked externally by debris, clogged internally by rust, or punctured, it loses its ability to cool. The water pump ensures coolant circulation. If it fails, the cooling process is compromised. A ruptured hose allows the coolant to escape, leaving an insufficient liquid volume for cooling. The thermostat helps regulate temperature by controlling the coolant flow between the engine and the radiator. If it cracks or otherwise stops working, you’ll need a replacement for accurate measurement. Coolant is more than just water. It’s typically mixed with ethylene glycol. This prevents the fluid from freezing when the temperature dips outside or exceeds the boiling point.
