There are a few possibilities as to the cause, bad thermostat, low coolant level, inefficient water pump, restricted / clogged radiator, and so on... The reason it cools down, is the heater unit in the passenger compartment is actually a small radiator, and when you warm up the interior, you are cooling the coolant, so to speak. Also, a lot of the newer vehicles will run the electric cooling fans when the heater / defroster is on, and this will cool the car down if it is overheating due to the cooling fans not being turned "on" by the coolant temp switch. To check if it the fan circuit, let it idle in your driveway, and when the temp starts climbing, the electric fan(s) should turn on when the coolant temp is about 225 deg. Fahrenheit. If they don't turn on then, put the heater control to defrost, and then, if the fan(s) come on, you know where to start looking...
lets you know from inside the car if your engine is running at the proper operating temperature.
the PS2 slimline does overheat because there isn't a fan inside it, the larger PS2 does have a fan and will not overheat
A thermostat for heating or a thermometer for air temperature is typically placed on an inside wall (not outside wall), and away from heating vents or direct sunlight.
A thermostat controlling a heating/cooling system. The thermostat is set at a certain temperature. If the inside temperature drops below this setpoint, the heating system is signalled to raise it. If the inside temperature rises above the setpoint, the cooling system is signalled to lower it. Doing this maintains the temperature within a small band, keeping things relatively homeostatic. This is the best example I can think of.
If the fan outside is not running the compressor will overheat and if the fan inside the house is not running the compressor will get liquid refrigerant back to it and lock up! Neither is good for the compressor.
It depends on:- the efficiciency of your heating system- the enveloppe of the bungalow (construction materials, insulation)- the air infiltration rate- the external temperature- the temperature you want to reach inside
Air inside the engine.
Air inside engine
A normal Clothes dryer will heat at the exhaust from 165 to 175 max. Normally it will run from 130 degrees to 165 degrees. A temperature switch inside near the heating element controls the heat. There is a max temperature at the switch of 250 degrees, that will shut off the heating element.
If the engine is overheating, running the ac will make it overheat faster. The ac only cools the inside of the car, it actually adds heat under the hood.
It is recommended. You do not need one as long as the temperature in the tank is 75-80 degrees during the day and doesn't drop below 68-65 at night. Use a thermometer that sticks to the inside of the glass to easily tell the temperature.
Yes it does, while heating or cooling by itself, so fixing the temperature profile in front of it, inside it, and beyond it. As the best conductors have the most shallow temperature profile inside it and the worse the steepest.
