Introduction:
Also known automotive radiator tanks, automotive cooling system is the main parts; Its function is to dissipate the heat, cooling water absorbing heat in the water jacket, flows to the radiator after the heat dissipated, and then back to the water jacket is circulated continuously. So as to achieve temperature control of cooling effect. It is also an important part of a car engine.
Principle:
tank is an important component of the water-cooled engine, as a key component of the water-cooled engine cooling circuit, capable of absorbing heat of the cylinder, to prevent Since the engine overheating large specific heat capacity of water, after heat absorption cylinder temperature rise is not a lot, so the heat of the engine cooling water through the liquid circuit, the use of water as a heating medium heat conduction, and then through a large area of fins to convection cooling, to maintain the proper operating temperature of the engine.
When a high engine water temperature, repeated cycles of water pump to pump water to thereby lower the temperature of the engine, (a tank constituting a root of a hollow copper tubes into the high temperature water tank and through the air circulated to the engine cylinder wall) to achieve the purpose of protecting the engine, if the winter temperature is too low, the time will stop the water cycle, to avoid the engine temperature is too low.
The main purpose:
Also known automotive radiator tank car, automotive cooling system main parts; Its function is to dissipate the heat, cooling water in the water jacket absorb heat, cooling gas flows after the heat dissipated, and then back to the water jacket is circulated continuously. So as to achieve temperature control of cooling effect. It is also an important part of a car engine.
is a combination of the main tank car heater core, pipe, cooling air blades, the water tanks and the like from the tank. The radiator header tank, the water tank and the upper tank of the radiator communicating below, when the water tank becomes heated water flows from top to bottom, the blade cooling air channel is configured by a fanCar suction and the relative wind speed during forward running, a large amount of cool air through the air duct, the heat of the cooling water flowing through the absorption of water in the atmosphere and then diverging.
Function
The cooling system of the heat engine is used in excess without, radiated from the engine out of the engine can maintain the operating temperature at normal speed or at various driving conditions.
is a water-cooled engine of the tank heat exchanger to cool the air convection, to maintain the normal operating temperature of the engine. Once the engine cooling water in the tank because of high boiling and vapor expansion, the pressure exceeds a set value, by the tank cover (A) relief overflow, causing the cooling water to reduce and prevent the cooling system pipe burst. It is noted that usually the driving engine cooling water temperature gauge pointer instrument panel are normal. Others such as engine cooling fan failure caused by engine cooling water temperature or cooling system pipe leakage may also result in reduced cooling water, please pay attention before adding distilled water to reduce the amount of cooling water and the cycle is normal.
Use and maintenance:
1, the heat sink should be in contact with any acid, alkali or other corrosive properties.
2, is recommended to use soft water, hard water softening need post-treatment, to avoid clogging and to generate internal heat sink scale.
3, in the use of antifreeze, to avoid corrosion of the radiator, be sure to use the regular manufacturers and national standard antifreeze long-term protection.
4, the radiator in the installation process, do not damage the radiator tape (sheet) and bumps sink so that the heat dissipation capacity and sealed. When
5, the radiator water and then turn on the water completely, the first drain switch to turn on the engine block, when the water flows out, and then closed, to avoid blisters.
6, in daily use should always check the water level, add water to cool down. When water was added slowly open the tank cover, the worker should be as far away from the body filler opening, to prevent high-pressure steam discharged from the filler opening to cause burns.
7, in the winter to prevent ice core cause rupture phenomena, such as long-term parking when parking or indirectly, should turn on the water tank cover and switch, all the water will be released.
8, spare radiator effective environment should be ventilated, dried.
9, as the case should the user a complete cleaning of the radiator core is between 1 to 3 months. When washing, with water in the reverse direction into the side rinse. Periodic complete cleaning of the radiator core portion can be prevented from being blocked dirt affect the heat dissipation performance, and affect the service life of the radiator.
10, water level gauge should be cleaned once every three months, or as the case; the parts removed and washed with warm water and non-corrosive detergents.
Cleaning tank:
Equipment needed:
antifreeze (1-2 gallons or 4-8 liters) and distilled water (4-8 liters or 1-2 gallons) (distilled water necessary), a disc or a bucket of water, a flower garden hose attached to the nozzle, a pair of work gloves (if possible waterproof), a Lung resistance fur brush, a bucket of soapy water, may be close disposal container (antifreeze toxic and should be carefully storage and disposal), and a set of wrench screwdriver (optional), safety goggles, rags.
cleaning steps:
steps to start
1- First, make sure your engine cold. Heat engine coolant temperature represents full of high pressure in the tank – and might burn you when you open the tank lid. Cold water will damage the heat engine.
Step 2 Clean the tank
to open the hood and fixed firmly to avoid accidental slipping. Then, use your brush and soapy water resistant Long gently erased collected on the radiator grille of dead insects and debris. Scrubbing tank is determined by fins rather than the reverse direction, since the metal brittle and easily bent. Once the grill is clean, and guide a gentle flow of water from the hose above the grille to make sure that all debris has been completely removed. Although you only wash your tank once every two years, but about 12,000 miles per tank clean grill is a good idea.
Step 3 is placed a drain pan
is very important to properly discharge the waste coolant. Coolant highly toxic, but to have a sweet taste to attract children and animals. Shall not be left unattended at discharge, and must not vent on the ground. Make sure you will not drain pan used for any purpose kitchen – run disposable rowWater tray is ideal. Drain pan should be small enough to be easily placed underneath your vehicle. Once you find a suitable drain pan, and slide it under your car and center alignment tank drain valve (also called drain plug) clean the water tank.
Step 4 – Check the tank cover
As the tank cap to the tank lid, sealing and cooling fluid under pressure inside the tank, so that the engine is kept cool. Coolant pressure becomes different depending on the engine, and the pressure rating marked on the top of the lid itself. A tank cover comprises a coil spring, extends between the broad and flat top and bottom of the metal small rubber seal. Tension spring and sealing between the cap rubber is capable of maintaining the pressure of the key, and therefore, if both can be easily compressed, and showing the radiator cap worn and should be replaced. Another phenomenon replace the tank cap is a rubber seal any corroded or dried. In general, at least every two years should replace the tank lid, so that when a portion of the wash water tank, you can be as routine. Keep in mind that different radiator caps with different pressure ratings, so be sure to save your rating of the vehicle record.
Step 5 Check the clip and the hose
The next step is to check the tank and hose clip. A hose having a two: one at the top of the tank, the high-temperature coolant discharged from the engine, one at the bottom, in order to cool the engine coolant circulation. Water tank must be vented in order to facilitate the replacement hose, therefore, before you flush the engine, please check them. In this way, if you find traces of hose rupture or leak or clip looks rusty, you can replace them before the tank refilled. Soft and thick porridge-like sticky traces of a new hose you need, and if you find that only a trace of any of these with a hose, replace the two still.
Step 6- old coolant vent
tank drain valve (or drain plug) should have a handle making it easy to open. Loosen the plug just twist (please put on work gloves – coolant poisonous), and allow coolant to flow into the drain pan that you put under your vehicle in step 4. After all coolant has been discharged, replace the plug twist, and resistant to coolant into the old you are ready in sealable container next to it. Then back into the drain pan under the drain plug.
Step 7 cistern
Now you are ready to perform the actual flushing! As long as your flower garden with a hose, the nozzle is inserted into the tank water fill port, and let it flow to the full. Then twist open the plug and let the water drain into the drain pan. Repeat until the water becomes clean and determines the course of the flushing water used in all charged sealable container, as you dispose of old as the coolant. At this point, you should be necessary to replace any clips and hose wear.
Step 8 add coolant
over the cooling liquid is 50 percent water and 50 percent antifreeze mixture composition. Use distilled water, because tap water minerals will change the nature of the coolant, and it will not work properly. You can advance the ingredients in a clean container or directly into the mixing thereof. Most of the water tank may be charged with approximately two gallons of coolant, therefore, easily determine the amount you need.
the air in the
Step 9 exhaust cooling system
Finally, the system will stay in the cooling air discharged. In a situation where the tank lid open (to avoid pressure build-up), start your engines and let it run for about 15 minutes. Then turn on your heater, and go to a high temperature. This circulating coolant and allow any entrapped air to dissipate. Once the exclusion of air, space it occupies will be gone, leaving behind a small amount of coolant space, you are now able to add coolant. However, please be careful, released from the tank and the air will come out very high temperatures. Then fitted backwater cover, and using a rag wipe any excess cooling liquid.
Step 10 clean and discard
whether
twist check plug any leakage or spillage, rags discarded, and the old hose clip and disposable drain pan. Now You’re almost done. Properly dispose of the old coolant as important as the disposal of waste oil. Once again, the taste and color of the old coolant particularly attractive to children, therefore, do not let it unattended.
