14-2ENGINE COOLING General Information
GENERAL INFORMATION , ,
The cooling system is designed to keep every partthat the heat absorbed by the coolant may be of the engine at appropriate temperature in diated into the air.
er condition the engine may be operated.
The cooling of the water-cooled, pressureThe water pump is of the centrifugal type and is
driven by the
the
forced circulation type in which the water pump crankshaft. .
pressurizes coolant and circulates it throughout th e
engine: If the coolant temperature exceeds the
scribed temperature, the thermostat opens to circu-
late the coolant through the radiator as well so
and is cooled the
