A Thermostat regulates the engine's temperature and is located in the vehcile's cooling system. Once a predetermined engine temperature is achieved, it allows for circulation from the engine throug the radiator. The Thermostat does not create heat, it simply reacts to changes in temperature by opening and closing the valve. In many internal combustion engines, the Thermostat Housing is located on the engine blocl or cylinder head and acts as the coolant outlet.
Why Do I Need Thermostats & Housings?
Thermostats are a vital part of a vehicle's engine and is at the heart of the cooling system. Sometimes, people do not realise that an engine overheating can be caused by a faulty or overworn thermostat, which in turn can lead to decreased cooling system efficiency and even engine breakdown. You can purchase either a stand-alone Thermostat that get installed into a seperate Housings or a Thermostat that is integrated into the Thermostat Housing. Regardless of your choice, each Thermostat will work in the same way. Integrated Thermostat Housings are easier for mechanics to replace, as they can remove the entire unit at once and do not need special tools, plus there is no risk of the Thermostat being incorrectly installed into the Housing.
