Thermostates are usually set to 190-210 degrees Fahrenheit. Not 200-250 degrees Celsius like you stated in the video. 200 degrees Celsius is 392 degrees Fahrenheit, at which point the coolant would boil.
@@ryancox6268 very incorrect. The pressure raises the boiling point it does not make it nonexistent. A 50/50 mix of glycol and water at 15 psi boils at 268 degrees F.

Very informative video and clearly explains how the components of a cooling system work. I’ve been in automotive for about 2 years now and I always find myself brushing over automotive systems just to make sure I stay sharp in the function on how things work. The better you can understand how something operates the more you’ll understand what’s needed to fix an issue and get a vehicle back on the road for a customer.
I love these animated videos with text, because I can paused the video, read the text, elaborate it, and resume the video. It is a really great way to teach. Great video.
"for dummies" Am learning every time. Am not a dummy but I feel like it when I can't understand so many mechanic words. This video is great. Thank you.
I wish this animation technology existed when I was young, so vividly explained; so much simpler than a book. I played the video at a reduced speed to really allow the dynamics to sink in, snd master it thoroughly . Thanks a million, an old school 60 year old, now in the know when visiting the repair shop.
Let me correct some comments in your video: *) 1:10: At cold start the water is not coming from the lower tank of the radiator, but it is circulated in the engine only - you would generate a vakuum in the radiator! *) 1:50: 200-250°C operating temperatur is just wrong - it is in fact in most cars the opening temperature for the thermostat is about 82°C. *) 3:40: The fan is only actuated in case the temperatur in the radiator gets too high (e.g. ON-low power: ~92°C, ON-high power: 98°C, OFF: 88°C) - and not because coolant flows out outside the thermostat.
Thanks. Got to know more about how different components of an Automobile works . I'm a Mechanical engineering student and I love all these kinda stuff. 👍
i always get worried every time i watch videos like these and see how much complexity there really is in all of these systems, and how much could go wrong
its just a lot of quite basic things working together you just have to take some time to do the steps its really simple when you look at the pieces individually it becomes like a puzzle which you already know where all the pieces go.
Sir, thank you for this video. i really appreciate it ! :) i have to do a power point presentation and i couldnt find a single thing about the coolant system by searching the web in my mother language good thing that there are people on this planet that care to explain how things work
My coolant sensor light went on yesterday while on German highway. I ignored it for a while till i noticed engine temp went up. Stopped at a fuel station and added coolant. This morning i wanted to know more and now i appreciate how the smallest details count. Thanks for awesome animation.
1:50 that would be Fahrenheit, not Celsius. 250 deg C would melt all plastic components in the engine immediately and if the coolant even managed to reach that temperature without boiling then the pistons and all alloy components would likely melt too
the puzzle the engineers had to figure out was pressure, at least i think. If it gets hot enough, open this, if this gets hot enough open that. I really wanted to know exactly where the coolant was going inside of the engine and it made complete sense right at the beginning, thanks. Every mechanic should see this asap. And I did know what a radiator was but I didn't know exactly how it works, it cools down the coolant to send it back to the engine. Very informative.
really it is very helpful video because it explain whole working of cooling system in small time even we can understand completely from book .thank you sir for making such useful video
When the coolant cools down, a vacuum is presented in the radiator. It will suck the coolant from the reservoir back to the radiator, a check valve inside the radiator cap allows it flow backward.
@@Phi1Productions the coolant is pushed from the radiator to the recovery tank as the temperature rises, pressure rises, and the coolant actually expands from the heat. As it cools, it takes up less space, becomes denser, and effectively shrinks. As it does, it creates a vacuum in the cooling system. Nature hates a vacuum, so the coolant that was pushed into the recovery tank, is now drawn back in, replacing the vacuum space with coolant. This is why the level in the recovery tank has to be above a certain level, so air is not drawn into the cooling system. If air gets in, it causes bubbles in the coolant, this prevents the coolant from absorbing engine heat properly, and will force the coolant to boil, which is what overheating basically is.
A very enjoyable way to learn how the cooling system works. Well done!

I can barely believe how it's cooled down enough to back to be allowed to go back to the engine cylinder. Just a little bit of air flow is enough to cool a liquid that reaches very, very hot temperature ? Amazing.
That is why the radiator has so many fins for more efficiency. Because to be most accurate, the air does not cool the liquid. It cools the metal that the radiator is made of. Heat will naturally move from the warm coolant to the aluminum of the radiator. So that is what actually cools the liquid, but in order for that process to work over an extended period of time, the air cools the aluminum. Otherwise, the radiator would work for a few minutes, but as soon as enough heat transferred from the coolant to the radiator itself, if there was no external air cooling it, then the radiator would just become as hot as the coolant, and stop serving its purpose.
Well, its not little. the vehicle is going at a certian speed for example 65 MPH [105 kmh] so the air allowed into the radiator is alot and probably cooler so it cools down faster so its cool enough to be allowed back into the engine. although if your vehicle is going slow for example 40 mph [64 kmh] the engine isent going to heat up alot faster then 65 mph. so the coolant has more time to cool down. so until the engine reaches above operating temp. the coolant is stoped from getting into the engine by the water pump. atleast thats what i think. and when its above operating temprature the water pump allowes coolant to flow into the engine. Hopefully you understanded that
Lots of people think cars are hugely daunting, they have no clue how easy and simple they really are and the mechanics / physics behind them. I do everything on my car myself, it's incredibly simple, well structured engineering. You will easily learn how a car works within 10 minutes or less nowadays. This video as well explains the cooling system with so much detail, credit where credit's due it is so simple to follow along too I'm sure everyone who has never lifted a spanner would understand it after watching.
Keep up with that great work, very usefull illustraive animations. I think will be usefull to describe deep complex operations like differential, esp, abs, ecu controll sensor units, etc. Thanks for your videos!
Thank you for saving me a 100's bucks. I thought my radiator fan isn't working when I start the car engine. I thought it should had started as soon as the car starts but after watching this video it is clear to me that the fan gets activated when the coolant has reached to a certain temperature. And rest after the fan does the work of cooling the coolant and circulating it through the reservoir chamber and thus it goes to the engine cooling chambers. Thanks a ton for the video...
excellent vid - except it doesn't show the full cycle of how the overflow tank works - giving it had an outlet at the bottom of overflow i was waiting to see how the coolant got back into the main system
gianpaolo18 When the coolant gets very hot (>110 degrees celcius approx) it will start to seep out of the radiator and into the overflow (also called expansion) tank; the coolant needs to have a means of escape as it expands to prevent damage to the cooling system. When the cooling system cools down again (once engine is switched off for instance) a vacuum will begin to form in the radiator/cooling system. As the vacuum forms, a valve automatically opens inside the radiator cap and the coolant is drawn back into the radiator from the overflow tank.
thias000 is right except that the return valve is not in the radiator cap for the example shown in the video. The example has the return line at the bottom of the expansion tank. So the return valve must be on that line.
thias000 I was also curious about this because I was under the impression that the overflow/expansion tank used the same tube to fill as it does to drain, but I suppose it doesn't have to work that way.
The temperature gauge on the dashboard - surely it should measure the engine temperature instead of the coolant temperature? The gauge could just be measuring air temperature while the engine is being cooked!
I noticed that too, but maybe due to the pressure of coolant inside the tubes, the boiling point of water is going to change too due to pressure change .
190-220 degrees? really? with no scale? 190-220º K = solid water 190-220º F = liquid water (as long as the coolant circuit is pressurized, which raises the boiling point of water) 190-220º C = gaseous water you kind missed an important detail you know ... coolant circuit is pressurized, so water wont boil at 100c, but still it cant go much further than that. normal operating temperature ranges from 90c to 110c. Most modern cars run 105c thermostats, cause higher temperature improves emissions.
It is just wrong in the video. Regular coolant temperatures are usually between 82°C and 102°C, Oil temperatures are about 120°C to 150°C (150°C max for oil/air cooled engines), the cylinder head get's up to 250°C and the cylinder walls are about 85°C (like the coolant temperature), Pistons have a very special temperature profile over their zones from 100°C (bottom outside) to more than 220°C at the middle of the piston (Petrol engines) and from 80°C to 250°C at Diesel engines.
CMIIW but are you sure it's F? 200F=93C. It's not even the the temperature to boils water and you're saying that a combusted fuel only generate heats not hotter than boiling point of a water? Sorry for bad english.
Raja Ritonga yes it generates more heat than boiling water thats why you need a cooling system because you want the temperature to stay below the boiling point.
andy chen Oh right. One guy's minor fail means we are all idiots over here. You are clearly far superior. Good grief. Some people are so proud of themselves they probably pat themselves on the back when they have a good poop.
Pascal ///M Power I never understood why an engine needed cooling then I learned they have mini explosions happening every second and if there was no cooling the engine would destroy its self
Here's a hint, when you put a new speech bubble on the screen, just pause what's going on in the background so the reader has a chance to read it. Too many times, a speech bubble comes up and then a second later, animation starts and sometimes the location of the speech bubble is even changed. I was so scared of missing the animation that I would skip reading the speech bubble and then I wouldn't know what was going on.
I have a coolant leak from somewhere so I have been just refilling it with water because it would be expensive to keep wasting money on coolant. I know water doesnt work as well but its gonna have to do until I can find the leak
Nice to watch the principle of operation of engine cooling system video, because it is Feilong Jiangli's perfeesional area. We professional supply water pumps, oil dipsticks, rubber parts.
Great video, would honestly rather have the music in the background with visual descriptions rather that a monotone robot voice explaining what is going on. Great job, ignore the small minded people in the comments please.
big flaw. your saying the engine operating temperature is around 200ºC to 250ºC. dont know where you got that information from but water boils at 100ºC. at 200ºF its still hot for a engine to operate properly.
+Fernando Melo The coolant mixture is 50/50 in water and antifreeze (usually ethylene glycol) which not only lowers the freezing point of the coolant, but also raises the boiling point of the coolant. Thus, the coolant can take away even more heat from the engine without the entire system overheating.
thats not the point. the water in the mixture will boil once it reches its temperature. im preatu sure that the maximum operation temperature is 90ºc for a engine
Fernando Melo The antifreeze mixed with the water prevents it from boiling. auto.howstuffworks.com/cooling-system3.htm And he probably meant Farenheit instead of Celsius.
Well this is a great animation. It looks so simple yet very complicated. Very impressive that Engineers thought of this system. All in all cars are very complicated even though they only do one thing
fixing it is not that easy shit be all rusted and stuck together parts be hard to get to customer watching you scrape your knuckles up over all I love the job
Amazing video. Very informative. I need your assistance in understanding some issues. My car has been overheating lately. I got the radiator flushed and i did see lots of blockages. Since the flushing, the radiator blower fan doesn't switches OFF. The top hose is hot while the bottom is Cold. From video thats just about right but i was advised to get the thermostat checked. What could have been the problem.
+Kev Lach That's right. My car the T-stat opens at 190 deg F. Therefore, if the movie wants to use the metric scale, it would have needed to say 90 to 121 deg C.
If your car is running at 200C, you have a major problem. Anything over 250F you should start worrying about. In my car if I'm over 220F I won't drive it.
i wish some car tuners are as smart as you, believe it or not, there are car tuners claim if the thermostat opens at 190f, it's 190f, LMAO.... i will say when the thermostat start opens at 190f, it won't fully melt the wax (fully open) at 205f ish....
Very well explained and documented only if there was no music the concentration would have been much better Had to mute the sound, Is there any video on the working of engine, brakes, ignition, emission control and other related operations
before this video, i dont know the heat flow back to top or bottom of radiator. thanks to your video, i am learning a very good information today. much appreciated.

lupuszzz well spotted
He's right
I’m guessing the 200C was supposed to be 200F.
Hi sir, at cold start,from where did the water pump draw its coolant?
lupuszzz 👌
the thermostat opens at about 90ºC and not 200ºC. please correct that. its 200ºF or 90ºC
1:57
On my car it opens at 90C it might be different on others

If your car overheats, don't ignore it. You can blow your head gasket like that :P

adding coolant to a over heated engine can also blow the head gasket

So how does the coolant from reservoir go back to the radiator?
When the coolant cools down, a vacuum is presented in the radiator. It will suck the coolant from the reservoir back to the radiator, a check valve inside the radiator cap allows it flow backward.

The coolant temperature is the engine temperature.
the application of Thermodynamics, dynamics, and heat transfer. that's what engineers see, three of the toughest courses of my life but I love it!
anyone notice the 200-250 degrees C ?? really?!! that's twice boiling lol I'm sure he meant 200-250 degrees F
I noticed that too, but maybe due to the pressure of coolant inside the tubes, the boiling point of water is going to change too due to pressure change .
well thats normal temperatures for some diesel engines, especially old diesel engines.
Most gasoline engines operate at temperatures fluxuating between 190 to 220 degrees.
190-220 degrees? really? with no scale?
190-220º K = solid water
190-220º F = liquid water (as long as the coolant circuit is pressurized, which raises the boiling point of water)

you kind missed an important detail you know ...
coolant circuit is pressurized, so water wont boil at 100c, but still it cant go much further than that. normal operating temperature ranges from 90c to 110c. Most modern cars run 105c thermostats, cause higher temperature improves emissions.

if it would be 200 to 250 deg Celsius the car would overheat the normal car working tempretaure is from 85°C to 100°C
Best ever explained of my experience with minor adjustments. Many thanks!
who ever thought of this design is a genius
Ollie k 🔥
my jeep is geting too hot in pasanger compartment . n over flow tank coolant is not geting over .can u pls rectify the problem 7349107638
Great video, you even explained the mechanism of thermostat!
one small mistake at 5:11 in the description box: "TRANFER". Thanks for the phenomenal video!
Clearest video on this subject I've seen! :)
200-250 deg cels of operating temp?
Advancements like these are the result of hard work blood sweat tears and sleepless nights gentlemen
Looks complicated but it's not too difficult to understand it.
Pascal ///M Power I never understood why an engine needed cooling then I learned they have mini explosions happening every second and if there was no cooling the engine would destroy its self
You just reassured me on how my system works so I can properly flush the system and restore the car...thank you!
Hey dude thanx for d video, it really gave me a holistic view of the cooling system :)
Keep up d good work (y)
+Nimish Khandelwal no prbs avni :-P
Nainika stop stalking :p
This video was great, I don't get why some people would give it a thumbs down.
Good but I think you meant 200-250 farenheight, not celsius.

What an amazing piece of engineering!
brilliant video
amazing and high powerful explaining with high illustration of animation
when you bought a car please take a minute to thank God for the engineers.
...or just thank the engineers
@@MacLaw3084 only God alone has given Knowledge to the Engineers. So All thanks to God

this video is amazing i just wish it had a narrator
Here's a hint, when you put a new speech bubble on the screen, just pause what's going on in the background so the reader has a chance to read it.
Too many times, a speech bubble comes up and then a second later, animation starts and sometimes the location of the speech bubble is even changed. I was so scared of missing the animation that I would skip reading the speech bubble and then I wouldn't know what was going on.

hmm ya i was gonna say the same thing coz i paused when i watched but true it doesn't make sense.
This was interesting. I decided I need to now learn how a car functions and this video is the first step in that process.
I have a coolant leak from somewhere so I have been just refilling it with water because it would be expensive to keep wasting money on coolant. I know water doesnt work as well but its gonna have to do until I can find the leak
its the water pump, ours has the same problem , drinks more coolant than a camel
Angel Diddy thats what im thinking too.. Do I need a new water pump or just the gasket?
Angel Diddy and so does mine!
to be real i changed the whole part& the engine belt(might have to) but i didnt have the tools so i went to my known mechanic
ah okay
Nice to watch the principle of operation of engine cooling system video, because it is Feilong Jiangli's perfeesional area. We professional supply water pumps, oil dipsticks, rubber parts.
I gotta say something about the music, itd kinda eerie in some sort of way.
Yeah, that knit knit sounds creepy
80's porn.
Great video, would honestly rather have the music in the background with visual descriptions rather that a monotone robot voice explaining what is going on. Great job, ignore the small minded people in the comments please.
big flaw. your saying the engine operating temperature is around 200ºC to 250ºC. dont know where you got that information from but water boils at 100ºC. at 200ºF its still hot for a engine to operate properly.
+Fernando Melo The coolant mixture is 50/50 in water and antifreeze (usually ethylene glycol) which not only lowers the freezing point of the coolant, but also raises the boiling point of the coolant. Thus, the coolant can take away even more heat from the engine without the entire system overheating.
thats not the point. the water in the mixture will boil once it reches its temperature. im preatu sure that the maximum operation temperature is 90ºc for a engine
Fernando Melo The antifreeze mixed with the water prevents it from boiling. auto.howstuffworks.com/cooling-system3.htm And he probably meant Farenheit instead of Celsius.
not really. unless you use a old school hot bulb engine i don't believe that you will ever get close to that temperature
+Fernando Melo Also, the boiling point of water is increased when it is pressurized (as it is in a car cooling system).
These animations are well done and very helpful
@turco949 What kind of porn are you watching?
quite a lot of different types really for example beastiality
Tight cylinders get hot and lubricated by pistons stroking inside them.
Well this is a great animation. It looks so simple yet very complicated. Very impressive that Engineers thought of this system. All in all cars are very complicated even though they only do one thing
fixing it is not that easy shit be all rusted and stuck together parts be hard to get to customer watching you scrape your knuckles up
over all
I love the job
Amazing video. Very informative. I need your assistance in understanding some issues. My car has been overheating lately. I got the radiator flushed and i did see lots of blockages. Since the flushing, the radiator blower fan doesn't switches OFF. The top hose is hot while the bottom is Cold. From video thats just about right but i was advised to get the thermostat checked. What could have been the problem.
Id assume its the thermostat, but since this was 4 months ago id assume youve had it fixed already
Haha 200 a 250°celcius 🌞
+edwin m no, F is bullshit. C is proper measurement .
+Kev Lach
That's right. My car the T-stat opens at 190 deg F. Therefore, if the movie wants to use the metric scale, it would have needed to say 90 to 121 deg C.
If your car is running at 200C, you have a major problem. Anything over 250F you should start worrying about. In my car if I'm over 220F I won't drive it.
It starts too open at 190F but doesn't fully open till 220+ depending on the engine.
i wish some car tuners are as smart as you, believe it or not, there are car tuners claim if the thermostat opens at 190f, it's 190f, LMAO.... i will say when the thermostat start opens at 190f, it won't fully melt the wax (fully open) at 205f ish....
the best video on youtube about engine cooling, Thank you so much for uploading this informative video.
I'm happy that, this video explains sevaral engine cooling system in one video
Very well explained and documented only if there was no music the concentration would have been much better Had to mute the sound, Is there any video on the working of engine, brakes, ignition, emission control and other related operations
before this video, i dont know the heat flow back to top or bottom of radiator. thanks to your video, i am learning a very good information today. much appreciated.
I love this channel. I have literally learned so much from these small videos.
Nice video! I just didn't see explanation about the overflow tank and what happened with the coolant volume forwarded to it.
बहुत सुन्दर लगी आपकी विडियो
