2. Wax thermostatic element - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wax_thermostatic_element

   Engines which require a tighter control of temperature, as they are sensitive to "Thermal shock" caused by surges of coolant, may use a "constant inlet temperature" system. In this arrangement the inlet cooling to the engine is controlled by double-valve thermostat which mixes a re-circulating sensing flow with the radiator cooling flow.

3. Radiator (engine cooling) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiator_(engine_cooling)

   The engine temperature on modern cars is primarily controlled by a wax-pellet type of thermostat, a valve that opens once the engine has reached its optimum operating temperature. When the engine is cold, the thermostat is closed except for a small bypass flow so that the thermostat experiences changes to the coolant temperature as the engine ...

4. Talk:Engine coolant temperature sensor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Engine_coolant...

   The fuel injection computer will control injection timing (i.e. fuel quantity) on a number of factors, including temperature. If it's given an incorrect temperature reading, then it will mis-fuel. If the ECU thinks the engine is cold, it will use the cold-start settings, possibly over-fuelling dramatically, with a result of increased HC ...

5. Internal combustion engine cooling - Wikipedia

   After isolating the pump problem, cars and trucks built for the war effort (no civilian cars were built during that time) were equipped with carbon-seal water pumps that did not leak and caused no more geysers. Meanwhile, air cooling advanced in memory of boiling engines even though boil-over was no longer a common problem.

6. Block heater - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Block_heater

   Some cars are produced with block heaters from the factory, while others are fitted with block heaters as an aftermarket add-on. [3] The most common type of block heater is an electric heating element in the engine block , which is connected through a power cord often routed through the vehicle's grille.
