I do everything on my car myself, it's incredibly simple, well structured engineering. You will easily learn how a car works within 10 minutes or less nowadays. This video as well explains the cooling system with so much detail, credit where credit's due it is so simple to follow along too I'm sure everyone who has never lifted a spanner would understand it after watching.

    Let me correct some comments in your video:
    *) 1:10: At cold start the water is not coming from the lower tank of the radiator, but it is circulated in the engine only - you would generate a vakuum in the radiator!
    *) 1:50: 200-250°C operating temperatur is just wrong - it is in fact in most cars the opening temperature for the thermostat is about 82°C.
    *) 3:40: The fan is only actuated in case the temperatur in the radiator gets too high (e.g. ON-low power: ~92°C, ON-high power: 98°C, OFF: 88°C) - and not because coolant flows out outside the thermostat.

    the puzzle the engineers had to figure out was pressure, at least i think. If it gets hot enough, open this, if this gets hot enough open that. I really wanted to know exactly where the coolant was going inside of the engine and it made complete sense right at the beginning, thanks. Every mechanic should see this asap. And I did know what a radiator was but I didn't know exactly how it works, it cools down the coolant to send it back to the engine. Very informative.

      @@Phi1Productions the coolant is pushed from the radiator to the recovery tank as the temperature rises, pressure rises, and the coolant actually expands from the heat. As it cools, it takes up less space, becomes denser, and effectively shrinks. As it does, it creates a vacuum in the cooling system. Nature hates a vacuum, so the coolant that was pushed into the recovery tank, is now drawn back in, replacing the vacuum space with coolant. This is why the level in the recovery tank has to be above a certain level, so air is not drawn into the cooling system. If air gets in, it causes bubbles in the coolant, this prevents the coolant from absorbing engine heat properly, and will force the coolant to boil, which is what overheating basically is.

      @thias000 Před 9 lety +8

      gianpaolo18 When the coolant gets very hot (>110 degrees celcius approx) it will start to seep out of the radiator and into the overflow (also called expansion) tank; the coolant needs to have a means of escape as it expands to prevent damage to the cooling system. When the cooling system cools down again (once engine is switched off for instance) a vacuum will begin to form in the radiator/cooling system. As the vacuum forms, a valve automatically opens inside the radiator cap and the coolant is drawn back into the radiator from the overflow tank.

    Here's a hint, when you put a new speech bubble on the screen, just pause what's going on in the background so the reader has a chance to read it.
    Too many times, a speech bubble comes up and then a second later, animation starts and sometimes the location of the speech bubble is even changed. I was so scared of missing the animation that I would skip reading the speech bubble and then I wouldn't know what was going on.

    anyone notice the 200-250 degrees C ?? really?!! that's twice boiling lol I'm sure he meant 200-250 degrees F

    • @mohager101
      @mohager101 Před 10 lety +2

      I noticed that too, but maybe due to the pressure of coolant inside the tubes, the boiling point of water is going to change too due to pressure change .

      well thats normal temperatures for some diesel engines, especially old diesel engines.

      Most gasoline engines operate at temperatures fluxuating between 190 to 220 degrees.

      190-220 degrees? really? with no scale?
      190-220º K = solid water
      190-220º F = liquid water (as long as the coolant circuit is pressurized, which raises the boiling point of water)
      190-220º C = gaseous water
      you kind missed an important detail you know ...
      coolant circuit is pressurized, so water wont boil at 100c, but still it cant go much further than that. normal operating temperature ranges from 90c to 110c. Most modern cars run 105c thermostats, cause higher temperature improves emissions.

      It is just wrong in the video.
      Regular coolant temperatures are usually between 82°C and 102°C, Oil temperatures are about 120°C to 150°C (150°C max for oil/air cooled engines), the cylinder head get's up to 250°C and the cylinder walls are about 85°C (like the coolant temperature), Pistons have a very special temperature profile over their zones from 100°C (bottom outside) to more than 220°C at the middle of the piston (Petrol engines) and from 80°C to 250°C at Diesel engines.

    • @rajaritonga214
      @rajaritonga214 Před 7 lety +3

      CMIIW but are you sure it's F? 200F=93C. It's not even the the temperature to boils water and you're saying that a combusted fuel only generate heats not hotter than boiling point of a water? Sorry for bad english.

    • @wkndbikeshop
      @wkndbikeshop Před 7 lety +1

      it's why water is mix with coolant & the cooling system use pressure to increase boiling point

    • @offroader22
      @offroader22 Před 7 lety

      Raja Ritonga yes it generates more heat than boiling water thats why you need a cooling system because you want the temperature to stay below the boiling point.

    I have a coolant leak from somewhere so I have been just refilling it with water because it would be expensive to keep wasting money on coolant. I know water doesnt work as well but its gonna have to do until I can find the leak

    • @angelguerrero5085
      @angelguerrero5085 Před 9 lety

      its the water pump, ours has the same problem , drinks more coolant than a camel

    • @dominicbarile

      Angel Diddy thats what im thinking too.. Do I need a new water pump or just the gasket?

      to be real i changed the whole part& the engine belt(might have to) but i didnt have the tools so i went to my known mechanic

      @dominicbarile Před 9 lety

  • @zfernadz
    @zfernadz Před 8 lety +5

    big flaw. your saying the engine operating temperature is around 200ºC to 250ºC. dont know where you got that information from but water boils at 100ºC. at 200ºF its still hot for a engine to operate properly.

    • @tabithaschultz6308
      @tabithaschultz6308 Před 8 lety +2

      +Fernando Melo The coolant mixture is 50/50 in water and antifreeze (usually ethylene glycol) which not only lowers the freezing point of the coolant, but also raises the boiling point of the coolant. Thus, the coolant can take away even more heat from the engine without the entire system overheating.

    • @zfernadz
      @zfernadz Před 8 lety

      thats not the point. the water in the mixture will boil once it reches its temperature. im preatu sure that the maximum operation temperature is 90ºc for a engine

    • @tabithaschultz6308
      @tabithaschultz6308 Před 8 lety +1

      Fernando Melo The antifreeze mixed with the water prevents it from boiling. auto.howstuffworks.com/cooling-system3.htm And he probably meant Farenheit instead of Celsius.

    • @zfernadz
      @zfernadz Před 8 lety

      not really. unless you use a old school hot bulb engine i don't believe that you will ever get close to that temperature

    • @joshrobdaddy
      @joshrobdaddy Před 8 lety +3

      +Fernando Melo Also, the boiling point of water is increased when it is pressurized (as it is in a car cooling system).

      That's right. My car the T-stat opens at 190 deg F. Therefore, if the movie wants to use the metric scale, it would have needed to say 90 to 121 deg C.

    • @AspectOfTheStorm
      @AspectOfTheStorm Před 8 lety +1

      If your car is running at 200C, you have a major problem. Anything over 250F you should start worrying about. In my car if I'm over 220F I won't drive it.

    • @Korrupted8787
      @Korrupted8787 Před 8 lety +3

      It starts too open at 190F but doesn't fully open till 220+ depending on the engine.

    • @wkndbikeshop
      @wkndbikeshop Před 7 lety +2

      i wish some car tuners are as smart as you, believe it or not, there are car tuners claim if the thermostat opens at 190f, it's 190f, LMAO.... i will say when the thermostat start opens at 190f, it won't fully melt the wax (fully open) at 205f ish....
