ఆపరేటింగ్ ప్రిన్సిపల్
The thermostat housing is an integral part of the engine's cooling system. It houses the thermostat, which regulates the flow of coolant between the engine and the radiator. When the engine is cold, the thermostat remains closed, allowing the engine to reach its optimal operating temperature quickly. Once the engine reaches the set temperature, the thermostat opens, allowing coolant to flow to the radiator for cooling. The housing provides the necessary connections for coolant hoses and ensures a sealed environment for the thermostat's operation.
