What is a Cylinder Head Temperature Sensor?
It is an electrical device that tells back the engine temperature to both the temperature gauge and (where fitted) the engine management system.
Where is the engine temp control sensor?
The device that controls engine temperature is called a thermostat and it's usually located where the upper radiator hose connects to the engine.
What is a temperature control?
a temperature control system relies upon a controller, which accepts a temperature sensor such as a thermocouple or RTD as input. It compares the actual temperature to the desired control temperature, or setpoint, and provides an output to a control element. The controller is one part of the entire control system. these are found in the interior climate control system, and in engine cooling system.

What is a thermo switch?
A thermoswitch is the device by the radiator, that switches on the fan as soon as the engine/ radiator reaches a set temperature
A device that heats your home by transferring thermal energy from a region of low temperature to a region at a higher temperature is a?
I think you're talking about a heat engine or heat mover..
Why would your engine not get hot enough?
If your engine temperature gauge is indicating a lower temperature than normal ( it sounds like the engine cooling thermostat is sticking open or not closing all the way ) Mine does that but I still get good heat from the heater in the winter time and my check engine light hasn't come on ( if my vehicle had to sit outside in the winter I would have the thermostat changed )
What does an automotive thermostat do?
A thermostat is a temperature sensitive device used in a vehicle's cooling system to control the flow of coolant between the engine block and radiator. A thermostat is important for several reasons. 1. It helps allow the engine to operate at optimal fuel efficiency. 2. It allows the engine to reach optimum operating temperature quickly. When the engine is cold, the thermostat stays closed, allowing the engine to reach operating temperature quickly. Once the engine approaches a predetermined operating temperature (typically 180-220 degrees F.), the thermostat begins to open and allows coolant flow from the radiator to the engine. Mainly it serves as an emission control device by allowing internal engine temperature to remain within normal operating ranges.
Cylinder head temperature of aircraft engine?
CYLINDER HEAD TEMPERATURE The engine temperature can have a dramatic: impact on engine performance. Therefore, most reciprocat- ing engine powered aircraft are equipped with a cylinder head temperature (CHT) gauge that allows a pilot to monitor engine temperatures. Most cylinder head temperature gauges are gal- vanometer-type meters that display temperatures in degrees Fahrenheit. If you recall from your study of electricity, a galvanometer measures the amount of electrical current produced by a thermocouple. A thermocouple is a circuit consisting of two dissimi- lar metal wires connected together at two junctions to form a loop. Anytime a temperature difference exists between the two junctions, a small electrical current is generated that is proportional to the tem- perature difference and measurable by the gal- vanometer. Typical dissimilar metal combinations used are iron and constantan. or chromel and alumel. Since a thermocouple generates its own electrical current, it is capable of operating indepen- dent of aircraft power. The two junctions of a thermocouple circuit are commonly referred to as a hot junction and a cold junction. The hot junction is installed in the cylin- der head in one of two ways; the two dissimilar wires may be joined inside a bayonet probe which is then inserted into a special well in the top or rear of the hottest cylinder, or the wires may be imbedded in a special copper spark plug gasket. The cold junc- tion. or reference junction, on the other hand, is typ- ically located in the instrument case.
How do you bring the engine coolant temperature level normal that is low in a 98 ford explorer?
If your engine coolant temperature gauge is indicating that it is running much cooler than normal ( it sounds like the engine cooling thermostat is sticking open / not closing completely ) which means you need to have the thermostat changed. You should consider if have good heat from your heater and if your check engine light comes on.
What the sign in an opel vectra when it says check coolant level?
Unless you have the triple information display on your vectra there is no warning light indicating low coolant apart from the engine temperature gauge.
Was the F22B1 engine Japanese?
The F22B1 engine was developed by Honda indicating that it would be of Japanese origin.
