    The cooling system regulates the engine's temperature, removes excess heat, and provides heat to the passenger compartment. The water pump circulates coolant at high speeds. The cooling fan provides air flow when stopped or at low speeds. A belt-driven or electric fan is controlled by temperature. A flex blade fan reduces noise at high speeds. Sensors monitor temperature and controls electric or viscous fan speed. The radiator transfers heat from coolant to air. A thermostat regulates coolant temperature, and coolant provides freeze and corrosion protection. The heater core transfers heat from coolant to the cabin.

    THE COOLING SYSTEM

    Purpose
    • To regulate the engines internal
    temperature
    • To remove excess heat from the engine
    • To provide heat to the passenger
    compartment
    The Water Pump
    • Centrifugal-type,
    rotates faster than
    crank, up to
    10,000 gal. per
    hour
    • Pulley driven, belt,
    chain drive or
    direct drive
    The Cooling Fan
    • Provides air flow
    with vehicle stopped
    • Provides increased
    air flow at low RPM
    or vehicle speeds
    • Belt driven or
    Electric
    Belt Driven Cooling Fan Clutch
    • Limits actual fan speed
    no more than 2000 rpm
    • Engaged at low speeds
    • Disengaged at high
    speeds
    • Thermostatic (temp.
    sensitive)
    Flex Blade Fan
    • Fan blades
    flatten out at
    high
    speeds,
    reducing
    noise,
    increasing
    horse power
    Electric Cooling Fan

    • Electric – 12v DC motor


    driven fan
    • Controlled in several ways
    – Engine coolant temp (ECT)
    switch
    – A/C select switch
    – PCM controlled based on
    various inputs
    • Fan turns on/off at specific
    temps.
    Electro-Viscous Fan Clutch
    • PCM Controlled fan
    speed
    • Sensors monitored to
    control speed:
    – ECT, A/C request,
    VSS, IAT, Trans Fluid
    Temp, AAT
    • Solenoid controls fluid
    flow, regulating fan
    speed
    • Internal hall effect sensor
    monitors fan speed
    The Radiator
    • Transfers heat from coolant to the
    atmosphere
    • Two types – Vertical & cross flow
    • Aluminum, brass, copper core; brass,
    copper or plastic tanks
    • Air movement through radiator created
    by a mechanical fan or by vehicle
    movement (ram air) dissipates heat
    How a Radiator Works
    Radiator Pressure Cap
    • Regulates pressure in the cooling
    system
    • Rated in psi – always replace with same
    rating
    • Pressure valve – allows liquid or vapor
    to escape
    • Vacuum valve – as system cools,
    coolant can reenter the system
    The Thermostat

    • Regulates engine coolant temperature


    • Rated in degrees – 195 degrees most
    common
    • Solid Expansion design – wax pellet
    expands as temp increases, valve
    begins opening at rating & is completely
    open within 20 degrees
    Coolant
    • Provides freeze & boil over protection,
    corrosion prevention & good heat
    transfer
    • Ethylene Glycol based – recommended
    50/50 mixture with water, poisonous
    • Dex-Cool – used by GM, 5 year
    150,000 mile protection, doesn’t contain
    silicate & phosphate additives
    The Heater Core
    • Small size radiator located in the dash,
    coolant circulates through it. A blower
    motor passes fresh air over it, heat
    transfers to the cooler air and into the
    cabin
    • Many vans & SUV have rear heating
    units
