 Engine Cooling System

Coolant flows through the

engine to absorb excess heat.

Engine Cooling System

An ethylene-glycol
concentration up to 68
percent offers the best
protection against freezing.

Teknologi dan Rekayasa

Engine Cooling System

Ethylene-glycol coolant
has a high boiling point.

Teknologi dan Rekayasa

Engine Cooling System

Pressurizing the
coolant system
raises the boiling
point of the
coolant.

Components and flow

patterns of a typical
cooling system.

Teknologi dan Rekayasa

 Engine Cooling System

Many engines are equipped with a bleeder valve to permit a technician to bleed
any trapped air from the cooling system.
The valve is loosened as coolant is poured into the system.
Because air is lighter than coolant, the air tends to float toward the highest part
of the cooling system.

Teknologi dan Rekayasa

 Engine Cooling System

The water pump is mounted on the front of the engine

block and is typically belt driven to ensure constant
coolant circulation whenever the engine is running.

Teknologi dan Rekayasa

The water pump impeller’s spinning
blades apply centrifugal force to move the
engine coolant through the water pump.

Engine Cooling System

With a cold engine, the thermostat stays

closed (A) to retain pressure and heat as
the engine warms up.
When the engine is warm, the thermostat
opens (B), allowing the coolant to travel to
the radiator to be cooled.

 Engine Cooling System

The thermostat is a temperature-sensitive

component that is activated by an integral wax pellet.

Engine Cooling System

A spring-loaded bypass
valve opens under coolant
pressure, while the main
thermostat remains closed.

The coolant tubes

and fins of the
radiator core.

Teknologi dan Rekayasa

Engine Cooling System

A downflow radiator has

vertical tubes and tanks at the
top and bottom of the core.

Teknologi dan Rekayasa

Engine Cooling System

A crossflow radiator has

horizontal tubes and a tank
on each side of the core.

Teknologi dan Rekayasa

 Engine Cooling System

The pressure valve maintains the system

pressure and allows excess pressure to vent.
The vacuum valve allows coolant to return to
the system from the recovery tank.
Teknologi dan Rekayasa
 Engine Cooling System

Most radiator caps are mounted on

the top or side tank of the radiator. Teknologi dan Rekayasa
Engine Cooling System

Some radiator caps are mounted

in a remote location to provide
an accessible filling point.

Teknologi dan Rekayasa

Engine Cooling System

The recovery tank

coolant level depends on
the engine temperature.

Teknologi dan Rekayasa

 Engine Cooling System

The engine-driven fan draws air

into the engine compartment
through the radiator core. Teknologi dan Rekayasa
 Engine Cooling System

Electric fans can be mounted directly to the

radiator, as required with transverse-mounted
engines on front-wheel drive vehicles. Teknologi dan Rekayasa
Engine Cooling System

Electric fans can turn on at

any time, even when the
engine is shut down.
Always disconnect the power
lead before working around it.

Teknologi dan Rekayasa

 Engine Cooling System

The flexible fan blade changes

shape to reduce operating drag and
noise as engine speed increases. Teknologi dan Rekayasa
 Engine Cooling System

The center of the clutch is

a fluid-drive that controls
the speed of the fan.

Teknologi dan Rekayasa

 Engine Cooling System

The bimetallic temperature sensor

spring controls the amount of silicone
that is allowed into the clutch drive.
This action controls the speed. Teknologi dan Rekayasa
 Engine Cooling System

Radiator hoses must be large enough to carry full coolant flow,

and they must be kept in good condition to withstand the heat
and pressure of the cooling system and engine compartment.
Teknologi dan Rekayasa
Engine Cooling System

Core plugs seal holes that

lead to the water jackets.

Teknologi dan Rekayasa

 Engine Cooling System

The heater core is a heat exchanger that is mounted

inside a heater housing on the bulkhead or inside the
passenger compartment under the instrument panel.

Teknologi dan Rekayasa

This type of manually-operated heater control valve
is connected to the instrument panel heater control
by a wire cable.

Teknologi dan Rekayasa

This vacuum-operated heater-control valve uses a vacuum motor to
mechanically move the valve open and closed.
The vacuum motor responds to vacuum signals from inside the
passenger compartment, based on settings of the heater control panel.
Teknologi dan Rekayasa
 Engine Cooling System

This engine is air-cooled.

Airflow over the cooling fins absorbs the excess engine heat.
The hot air is then used to warm the passenger compartment.
