Maintaining the proper temperature for your vehicle is essential for its performance and longevity. If your car overheats, it can cause serious damage to the engine. That’s why it’s so important to have a working cooling system in your car that you can rely on. When it comes to Japanese-made cars, there are several types of cooling systems available. Let’s take a closer look at what these systems do and how they work.
Radiator System
This is the most common type of cooling system used in Japanese-made cars. It consists of a metal radiator with several thin tubes inside that contain coolant (a combination of water and antifreeze). As hot air passes through the radiator, heat is transferred from the coolant to the air which helps regulate engine temperature. The radiator also houses a fan which helps move air through the system when necessary, as well as a thermostat which regulates how much coolant flows through the system so that temperatures stay within an ideal range.
Water Pump System
The water pump system is similar to the radiator system, but as its name implies, it uses a pump instead of a radiator to circulate coolant throughout the engine block and other components in order to keep them at an optimal temperature. This type of cooling system is typically found in larger vehicles like SUVs and trucks because of its ability to handle higher temperatures without overheating.
Oil Cooler System
The oil cooler system is less common than both radiator and water pump systems but still widely used in certain Japanese-made cars. This type of cooling system works by circulating oil through an external reservoir filled with coolant or refrigerant (depending on vehicle model). The oil absorbs heat from other parts of the engine as it passes through them before being cooled off in the reservoir, thus helping maintain optimal operating temperatures.
No matter which type of cooling system you have in your vehicle-radiator, water pump, or oil cooler-it’s important that you keep it running smoothly at all times by performing regular maintenance checks and changing out any worn parts as necessary. Doing so will help ensure that your car runs efficiently and stays healthy for years to come!
