How Does A Car Cooling System Work

How an engine cooling system works the video course teaches you everything about modern cars.

The engine in your car runs best at a fairly high temperature. The system is somewhat more complex than that with power transferred from the serpentine belt to the water pump to keep the system moving. As this liquid passes through the hot engine it absorbs heat cooling the engine. The only time we notice the cooling system is when it fails and that can quite often be catastrophic.

It quietly keeps your engine at operating temperature preventing overheating and all the while supplying toasty cozy heat to the passenger compartment. The cooling system on liquid cooled cars circulates a fluid through pipes and passageways in the engine. The heated fluid then makes its way through a rubber hose to the radiator in the front of the car. A car engine produces a lot of heat when it is running and must be cooled continuously to avoid engine damage.

Generally this is done by circulating coolant liquid usually water mixed with an antifreeze solution through special cooling passages. The cooling system is the unsung hero of the internal combustion car engine. As the coolant flows through these passages it picks up heat from the engine. So another important job of the cooling system is to allow the engine to heat up as quickly as possible and then to keep the engine at a constant temperature.
