What controls the coolant flow through a radiator?

The thermostat regulates coolant flow through the radiator by opening and closing based on the engine temperature. When the engine is cold, the thermostat remains closed to allow it to warm up quickly. As the engine heats up, the thermostat opens to allow coolant to flow through the radiator and dissipate the heat.


Why is the thermostat reading 10 degrees cooler than the heat is set on?

There could be an issue with the thermostat sensor, such as it being dirty or damaged. It's also possible that the thermostat is improperly calibrated. Try cleaning the sensor and checking the calibration, or consult a professional for further troubleshooting.


The element in a thermostat that is sensitive to temperature changes is what?

The element in a thermostat that is sensitive to temperature changes is typically a bimetallic strip. This strip is made up of two different metals that expand and contract at different rates in response to temperature variations, causing the strip to bend and activate the thermostat's switch.


Which way does the thermostat go?

In general, thermostats usually go in one direction onto the wall. The front side, which displays the temperature and settings, should face outwards for easy visibility and access. The back side, with the wires and mounting plate, is what attaches to the wall. Make sure to follow the installation instructions provided with your specific thermostat model for correct placement.


How does the reverse acting thermostat work?

A reverse acting thermostat works by opening the contacts within the thermostat when the temperature rises above the set point. This action breaks the circuit, turning off the heating or cooling system. Essentially, it operates opposite to a direct acting thermostat, which closes the contacts to turn on the system when the temperature falls below the set point.
