Cold Engine (Closed): Keeps coolant inside the engine to warm it up quickly.
Warm Engine (Open): Allows coolant to flow to the radiator to release heat.
Ongoing Regulation: Opens and closes to keep the engine at the right temperature (usually 195–220°F / 90–105°C).
How Coolant Flows
-
Engine Cold (Thermostat Closed): Coolant stays in the engine so it warms up quickly.
-
Engine Warm (Thermostat Opens): Coolant flows to the radiator to release excess heat.
-
Continuous Adjustment: The thermostat opens and closes as needed to keep the temperature steady.
Why This Matters
-
Prevents overheating and costly repairs.
-
Keeps heater and A/C working properly.
