What is a cooling system?
Under normal working conditions, your car engine can develop high operating temperatures, not to mention the additional impact from external heat of the environment. Your car's cooling system is a special arrangement of many different parts working to keep the high energy developed in engine and resulting high heat from causing overheating of your vehicle. The most essential cooling system parts are:
- Radiator: conducts heat out of coolant liquid and away from engine
- Radiator cap: pressurised cap increases the boiling point of coolant liquid
- Antifreeze: additive added in coolant to change freezing and boiling point
- Thermostat: measures temperature of liquids leaving the engine
