A 160-degree thermostat is designed to open at approximately 160 degrees Fahrenheit. This means that when the engine coolant reaches this temperature, the thermostat will begin to open, allowing coolant to flow from the engine to the radiator. This helps regulate the engine's temperature and prevents overheating. It's important to note that the actual opening temperature can vary slightly due to manufacturing tolerances.
For a water heater, 120 °F (49 °C) is the factory setting, and is the low end of the heating scale. Most are set higher, at 130°F to 150°F to allow for the cooling of the water in the pipes. The hottest setting is about 160°F, which may be too hot for human use (showers) but suitable for washers and dishwashers.In water heaters with two, an upper and a lower thermostat (which perform different functions), the upper thermostat should be left at 120°F.
The softening temperature of polypropylene is 150 degrees Celsius. Its melting point is between 160 and 170 degrees Celsius.
There are 1000 metres in one kilometre. Therefore, 160 kilometres is equal to 160 x 1000 = 160000 metres.There are 1000 metres in one kilometre. Therefore, 160 kilometres is equal to 160 x 1000 = 160000 metres.
The temperature gets colder as you go upward in the troposphere. Light from the Sun heats the ground. The warm ground gives off the heat as infrared "light". The IR energy heats the troposphere. The lowest part of the troposphere is the warmest because it is closest to the ground, where the heat is coming from.
160°C converts to 320°F
The 160 thermostat should open about 20 degrees sooner than a 180.
What ever degree thermostat happens to be in there be it a 160, 180 or 195 degree t-stat.
You may need to get a lower temperature thermostat, they come in various settings ie 160 degrees, 140 degrees ect. If the water temperature gets to that degrees then the thermostat opens. You may have an engine that needs a lower degree one.
Sounds like the thermostat is stuck open. Try a new one.
160 degree thermosdat
180 degree is stock but you could also go with 160 degree
The best operating temperature for this engine is between 150-160 F. It should not be running at the same as your car which is a higher F. temp. You should have a 160 F. thermostat which will open at or be fully open at 160 F.
A 160 in the summer time and a 180 during the winter.
yes if you live in a cold area it could help, example, a 160 degree thermostat will open before a 180 degree thermostat, thus letting the warm coolant from the block to circulate thru the radiator and heater core, thus giving you warm air for your heater faster than a higher rated thermostat
Theoretically it would run cooler. The temperature rating on a thermostat tells you it's fully open position. So when the coolant temp reaches 160 then coolant will be allowed to flow to the radiator. Where as the 190 will open 30 degress warmer. And generally a lower temp is better. Just make sure you replace it with the OEM for the winter... or your engine won't warm up enough when it's cold.
Looks like 190 from the factory. See link for discussion on optional 160 degree thermostat.
a 160 to 180 degree thermostat will work and any auto parts store should be able to get you one.
