Engine cooling is a crucial process that prevents an engine from overheating during operation. As the engine runs, it generates heat due to fuel combustion and friction between moving parts. To manage this heat, a cooling system circulates a coolant, typically a mixture of water and antifreeze, through the engine and radiator. This helps maintain an optimal operating temperature, ensuring efficiency and longevity. The main components of an engine cooling system include the radiator, water pump, and thermostat. The radiator dissipates heat from the coolant into the air, while the water pump circulates the coolant throughout the engine. The thermostat regulates the coolant flow based on temperature, ensuring the engine operates within a safe range.
