The thermostat closes (preventing the circulation of cooling fluid through the radiator) while the coolant is below the setpoint. Once the fluid rises to the setpoint, the thermostat opens. This assures that the engine is operating at a specific temperature. Engines are far more efficient when operating at a higher temperature... so long as it isn't TOO high. Without a thermostat, the coolant constantly circulates through the radiator and cools as much as the radiator will allow.

How do heating and cooling thermostats differ?
A cooling thermostat only will be normally open, closing on the rise of temperature. A Heat only thermostat will be a normally open, close on the fall of temperature.
What does the thermostat in your house do?
The thermostat tries to control the heating and cooling in you home to maintain a comfortable or energy efficient temperature.
What is the function of a house thermostate?
Not sure what you mean exactly....but a thermostat triggers your heating/cooling system on and off, thereby maintaining whatever temperature to which you have it set.

What is the name of the sensor that screws into the thermostat housing for a 1991 Honda accord ex?
The sensor on the thermostat housing is a cooling fan switch. Cooling fan switch closes the circuit to engage the cooling fan(s) when the optimum temperature is reached. When not replaced, cooling system fans will either remain continually "on" or not function causing the engine to overheat, internal engine damage and/or temperature light illumination.
Is it handy to buy all in one heating and cooling systems?
There are two thermometers in this kind of thermostat. The one in the cover displays the temperature. The other, in the top layer of the thermostat, controls the heating and cooling systems.
Will a bad thermostat cause fluctuations in heat?
Yes, a thermostat opens and closes in response to the temperature in the cooling system under normal conditions. If it is sticking it can cause fluctuations in the radiator coolant temperature.
What does a vehicle thermostat do?
It regulates the temperature of the water in the radiator and tells the fan when to switch on to start cooling or to switch off if its too cool. Engines have an optimum running temperature, and the Thermostat helps keep it at that.
What is auto cooling on a air conditioner?
Auto cooling is turning on and off automatically to maintain a constant temperature set on a thermostat.
Where is the thermostat on pug 306 s16?
The thermostat for the cooling system can be found on the front of the engine. You can follow the bottom radiator hose to the thermostat housing. The thermostat will be within the thermostat housing.
