    Cooling System: Radiator Cap

    Uploaded by

    This document describes the cooling system of an engine. It uses a pressurized water circulation system with a thermostat. The radiator cap seals the radiator to pressurize it as the coolant expands, preventing boiling even over 212°F. The radiator cap has a relief valve that opens when pressure reaches 8.5-14.9 psi to release steam, and a vacuum valve that opens when the engine stops to relieve vacuum as the coolant cools.

    22R–E ENGINE – COOLING SYSTEM

    COOLING SYSTEM

    DESCRIPTION
    This engine utilizes a pressurized water faced circulation cooling system which includes a thermostat
    mounted on the outlet side.

    OPERATION

    RADIATOR CAP
    The radiator cap is a pressure type cap which seals the radiator, resulting in pressurization of the radiator
    as the coolant expands. The pressurization prevents the coolant from boiling even when the coolant tem-
    perature exceeds 100°C (212° F). A relief valve (pressurization valve) and a vacuum valve (negative
    pressure valve) are built into the radiator cap. When the pressure generated inside the cooling system
    exceeds the limit (coolant temperature: 110–120°C (230– 248°F) pressure: 58.8–103.0 kPa (0.6–1.05
    kgf/cm2, 8.5–14.9 psi ) the relief valve is opened by the pressure and lets steam escape through the pipe.
    The vacuum valve opens to allow atmospheric air to enter to alleviate the vacuum which develops in the
    cooling system after the engine is stopped and the coolant temperature drops.
