Not necessarily. It depends on the cause of the overheating. Drilling a hole in the thermostat effectively ruins it and you may as well remove it completely. However doing so will have a detrimental effect on the efficiency and life of the engine.

How does an automatic electric kettle work?

An automatic electric kettle works by using an internal heating element to rapidly heat the water. Once the water reaches the desired temperature, a built-in thermostat automatically shuts off the heating element, preventing the water from boiling over. The kettle then switches to keep the water warm until it is ready to be poured.


What is the working principle of pneumatic thermostat?

A pneumatic thermostat is one that controls the air handling system by using an air-filled control tube to send signals. Pneumatic thermostats typically use a bi-metallic strip that responds to temperature changes, and correspondingly increases or decreases the air pressure in the control tube. Separate components within the air handling system respond to the pressure changes in the control tube to activate heating or cooling to occur through the ductwork.http://www.dr-fix-it.com/pneum1.html

How do i test a eb falcon ute's thermistate?

Firstly remove the thermostat from its Housing Assembly, usually held down by 2 or 3 bolts depending on the model of vehicle. Boil a pot of water whilst immersing the thermostat into boiling water, you will notice the centre rod pullback in the direction of its spring, opening a larger hole within the thermostat device. If the hole is visibly opened, the thermostat is operating as required. If you are experiencing Over Heating, good idea to check the Clutch-fan is operating normally. Over heating in the EA and EB models is either one of 4 things needing attention, Clutch-fan, thermostat, Radiator and/or Head or Head gasket. Dont remove the thermostat from these models as the onboard Computer requires these for sensors to operate correctly.
