First of all, let's start with a simple explanation of what the cooling system does. As the name implies, its main job is to cool and keep parts from overheating. The parts we are talking about are all of the moving components in an engine - from the cylinders to the block itself. This is done by the constant circulation of a coolant liquid through a closed loop. We will take a look at the main components of a cooling system and what they exactly do, down below. Engine Block The first component in the system is the engine block itself. It has holes and crevasses all throughout, so the coolant liquid can flow freely. It's, of course, made out of metal for further heat dissipation. Coolant And Pipes Running through all the components is a liquid because it's the best way to collect heat and deliver it to the cooling unit (radiator). Most of the time, the coolant is just filtered water and a small amount of antifreeze. Between all the part ... read more
