List the function of the cooling system?

Answer 1

The water/coolant mixture runs through the engine block absorbing the heat out of the steel/iron and aluminum engine parts generated by friction and internal combustion. It flows through the passages and hoses to the radiator, which is where the liquid temperature gets lowered by the air blowing through it by the motion of the vehicle, as well as by cooling fan(s). It is also the source of heat for the vehicles passenger compartment heating. Antifreeze/Coolant mixed in the water will keep it from boiling too fast and evaporating or overflowing from the extreme temperature of the heat it absorbs, as well as keeping the water from freezing solid in cold climates, and too much coolant in the water, can keep the water from getting hot enough for the heat to work, which affects the engine temperature sensor, which can also affect the cars performance if it has a sensor tied into the main computer system. On older vehicles where there are no computer controls, that is not a problem, the vehicle will just overheat, or not supply heat.
