Ever wonder how a standard single pass radiator works? here is a quick teaser for our upcoming video. the final video will act as a complete guide to automot. Watch the animated video on how the engine cooling system in an automobile works.
Learn the basics of engine cooling system with 3d animation and clear explanations. a must watch for car enthusiasts and curious minds. When you are servicing a cold engine, you should add coolant to one inch below the filler neck which allows for expansion as the engine warms. coolant can rise as much as one inch as the engine warms up. start your engine with the radiator cap removed and coolant one inch below the neck. then, observe as the engine warms. A cooling system works by sending a liquid coolant through passages in the engine block and heads. as the coolant flows through these passages, it picks up heat from the engine. the heated fluid then makes its way through a rubber hose to the radiator in the front of the car. as it flows through the thin tubes in the radiator, the hot liquid is. When the engine warms up, the wax melts, expands and pushes the valve open, allowing coolant to flow through the radiator. when the engine stops and cools, the valve closes again. water expands when it freezes, and if the water in an engine freezes it can burst the block or radiator. so antifreeze usually ethylene glycol is added to the water.
