Is the thermostat universal?

Different models have different requirements for temperature, so the thermostat is designed differently to adapt to different temperatures.

In addition to the size design, the requirements for installing a thermostat at the inlet or outlet of engine cooling water are also different. The corresponding full open temperature is also different, and these differences will lead to great changes in the cooling water flow through the radiator. ?

In addition, the working temperature of diesel engine and gasoline engine is different, and the requirements for the opening temperature of large cycle will not be the same. Therefore, only the right size is not necessarily suitable, and the thermostat specified by the engine should be installed.

Precautions for using thermostat:

1, do not disassemble the engine thermostat blindly. If the thermostat is removed blindly because of the high temperature of the engine, the cooling liquid can only circulate in a big way, and the cooling intensity cannot be adjusted, so it is difficult to ensure that the engine works at a suitable temperature. On the contrary, the engine often works at low temperature, which leads to the decrease of engine power, accelerated wear and increased fuel consumption.

If the engine temperature is still high after the engine thermostat is overhauled or replaced, other parts of the cooling system should be overhauled, and the thermostat cannot be removed.

2. The thermostat must be kept in good technical condition, otherwise it will seriously affect the normal work of the engine. If the thermostat main valve is opened too late, it will lead to overheating of the engine; If the main valve is opened too early, the engine warm-up time will be prolonged and the engine temperature will be too low.

Phoenix net-the thermostat is often turned on or turned on too early, the small water tank is blocked, and the air conditioning filter screen is too dirty.
