Where is Kawasaki gtr 1400 thermostat?

The thermostat is installed in the pipe between the sewer pipe and the engine. Thermostat is a valve that controls the flow path of coolant. It is an automatic temperature regulating device, which usually includes a temperature sensing element, which opens and closes the flow of air, gas or liquid through thermal expansion or contraction.

Working principle of thermostat

The main thermostat used is paraffin thermostat. When the cooling temperature is lower than the specified value, the fine paraffin in the thermostat temperature sensor is solid, the thermostat valve closes the passage between the engine and the radiator under the action of the spring, and the cooling liquid returns to the engine through the water pump and circulates in the engine.

When the temperature of the coolant reaches the specified value, paraffin wax begins to melt, gradually becomes liquid, the volume increases, and the rubber tube is compressed and shrunk. When the rubber tube contracts, it generates upward thrust on the push rod, and the push rod generates downward reverse thrust on the valve to open the valve. At this time, the coolant returns to the engine through the radiator and thermostat valve, and then returns to the engine through the water pump for large circulation.
