That would be a sensor that measures the temperature of the coolant and sends that information to the Engine Control Module (ECM). The ECM takes that info along with information from many other sensors and controls the engine to run at peak performance during the drive cycle.

What is thermal cooling?

Thermal cooling is the process of transferring heat away from an object or system to lower its temperature. This can be achieved through various techniques such as conduction, convection, and radiation. Thermal cooling is commonly used in electronic devices, refrigeration systems, and air conditioning units to maintain optimal operating temperatures.


Is a water temp sensor the same thing as a coolant temp sensor?

Yes, but it is not recommended to run straight water in the cooling system.


What is TDP?

Thermal design power (TDP), sometimes called thermal design point, represents the maximum amount of power the cooling system in a computer is required to dissipate.


Why must a cooling system do work to transfer thermal energy?

A cooling system must do work to transfer thermal energy because it needs to overcome the second law of thermodynamics, which states that heat naturally flows from a hot object to a cooler object. The cooling system works by actively moving heat from a colder region to a warmer one, which requires input of energy to maintain this temperature difference.


How do you replace the coolant level sensor on a 1995 thunder bird?

PATH: Engine Cooling > Coolant Temperature Sensor > Removal & Installation Removal & Installation Drain the engine cooling system slightly. Disconnect the negative battery cable. Detach the wiring connection from the sensor. Remove the coolant temperature sensor from the intake manifold. Clean the sensor area of any debris. To install: Install a new sensor into the intake manifold. Tighten the 6-14 ft. lbs. (8-19 Nm). Attach the sensor wiring to the unit. Connect the negative battery cable. Fill the engine cooling system with a 50/50 coolant water mixture. Start the engine and top off the cooling system.

Why does the cooling system kick in after a few miles on my peugeot 306?

If by cooling system you mean the cooling fan, it takes a while for the coolant temperature to rise enough to trigger the temperature sensor that activates the fan. This is to help warm up the engine and to avoid unnecessary operation of the cooling fan when it is not needed.
