For

Tem
coupling
is

a

type
of
fan

coupling
which
is

provided
with

system

The
conventional

coupling

always

slips
the
fan
at

a

constant
ratio

of

requirement

The

The
coiled
bimetal
thermostat

installed
on

the
front
center

portion
of

the
Tem

detects

temperature

of

The

is

directly

the

engine
coolant

tempera

ture
and
the
inside

slide
valve
is

opened
or
closed

as

required
and
thus

the

control
is

performed

When
the
air

temperature
rises

the

bimetal
is

expanded
and
the

valve
is

opened
silicon
oil
is
forwarded

to
the

groove
that

con

dition

When
the

valve
closes
silicone
oil
is

not

supplied
to
the

chamber

oil
in

the

driving
chamber
is

accumu

lated
on

periphery
due
to
the

centrif

ugal
force
and
led

into
the
reserve

chamber
Now

oil
is

eliminated
from

the

driving
chamber

and
the

system
is

placed
under
OFF

With
this

system
when
fan

cooling

is
not

the

is

minimized

RADIATOR

The
radiator
is

a
conventional
down

type
having

top
and

bottom

tanks
to

distribute
the
coolant
flow

uniformly

The

valve

consisting

valve

helps
to

prevent
the

from

boiling
by

How

the
