HV engine control module cooling system- forces air or liquid through or over an aluminum heat sink surrounding the high-power transistors for each leg of the three-phase 9. Engine operating temperature- is the temperature the engine coolant reaches under normal running conditions 10. Heater core- a small liquid-to-air exchanger mounted under the dash in the passenger compartment 11. Air cooling system- uses large cylinder cooling fins and outside aisr to remove excess heat from the engine 12. Cooling fins- a series of thin metal strips placed between cooling passages to help dissipate heat 13. Shrouds- a plastic or metal enclosure around a fan to guide and facilitate airflow 14. Liquid cooling system- circulates coolant through the water jackets in the engine’s cylinder block and cylinder head 15. Conventional-flow cooling- hot coolant flows from the cylinder head to the radiator and after being cooled the coolant flows back into the engine block 16. Reverse-flow cooling- flows the opposite direction, cool coolant enters the head and hot coolant exits the block to return to the radiator 17. Closed cooling system- type of cooling system that uses an overflow bottle and a radiator cap with pressure and vacuum valves 18. Open cooling system- does not use coolant reservoir, the overflow tube is not connected to a coolant reservoir, and excess coolant leaks onto the ground 19. Water pump- forces coolant through the engine and other system part 20. Radiator hoses- connect the engine to the radiator 21. Radiator- transfers engine coolant heat to the outside air 22. Fan- draws air through the radiator 23. Thermostat- controls the coolant flow and engine operating temperature 24. Water pump impeller- is a disk with fan-like blades with an impeller that spins and produces pressure and flow 25. Water pump shaft- is a steel shaft that transfers turning force from the hub to the impeller 26. Water pump seal- prevents coolant from leaking between the pump shaft and pump housing 27. Water pump bearings- are plain ball bearings that allow the pump shaft to spin freely in housing 28. Water pump hub- provides a mounting place for the belt pulley and fan 29. Water pump housing- is an iron or aluminum casting that form the main body or pump 30. Water pump gasket- fits between the engine and pump housing to prevent coolant leakage 31. Electric water pump- uses a large dc motor and impeller that forces coolant through the engine's water jackets or through an HV cooling system, used in place of a belt-driven water pump 32. Molded hose- made in a special shape, with bends to clear the cooling fan and other parts 33. Flexible hose- has an accordion shape and can be bent to different angles 34. Hose spring- frequently used in the lower radiator hose to prevent the hose from collapsing 35. Heater hoses- are small-diameter hoses that carry coolant to the heater core 36. Hose clamps- hold the radiator hoses and heater hoses on their fittings 37. Worm-drive hose clamp- uses a warm gear that engages slots in the clamp strap to allow tightening around the hose 38. Radiator core- is the fragile center section of a radiator and is made up of tubes and cooling fins 39. Radiator tanks- are the metal or plastic ends that fit over the core tube ends to provide storage for coolant and fittings for hoses 40. Radiator filler neck- is an opening for adding coolant that also holds a removable radiator pressure cap to prevent coolant from boiling when above 212°F 41. Transmission oil cooler- is an inner tank or cooling automatic transmission or transaxle fluid 42. Radiator petcock- is a fitting on the bottom of the tank for draining coolant 43. Radiator cap- pressurizes the water and antifreeze solution so that is does not boil when operating above 212°F 44. Downflow radiator- the tanks are on the top and bottom of the core, and the core tubes run vertically between the tanks 45. Crossflow radiator- more modern design that has the tanks on the sides of the core 46. Radiator cap pressure valve- consists of a spring loaded disk that contacts the filler neck, the spring pushes the valve into the neck to form a seal 47. Radiator cap vacuum valve- opens to allow flow back into the radiator when the coolant temperature drops after engine operation 48. Cooling system fan- pulls air through the core of the radiator and over the engine to help remove heat 49. Engine-powered fan- bolts to the water pump hub and pulley, sometime a fan spacer fits between the fan and pulley to move fan closer to the radiator 50. Fan spacer- part that fits between an engine powered fan and pulley to move the fan closer to the radiator 51. Flex fan- has thin, flexible blades that alter airflow with engine speed, at low speeds, the fan blades remain curved and pull air through the radiator, at higher engine speeds, the blades flex until they are almost straight 52. Fluid coupling fan clutch- designed to slip at higher engine speeds. It performs the same function as a flexible fan 53. Thermostatic fan clutch- has a temperature- sensitive, bimetal spring that controls fan action. The spring controls oil flow in the fan clutch 54. Electric cooling fan- uses an electric motor, the coolant temperature sensor, and the engine EMC to provide airflow and heat transfers out of the radiator 55. Fan motor- is a small dc motor with brushes that mounts on a bracket secured to the radiator, a metal or plastic fan blade mounts on the end of the motor shaft to create airflow when the vehicle is not moving 56. Fan switch (thermo switch)- is a temperature sensitive switch that controls fan motor operation 57. Coolant temperature sensor- used by the engine control ECM to determine how much fuel is needed and when to enter closed loop operation 58. Radiator shroud- helps ensure that the fan pulls air through the radiator 59. Thermostat rating- information stamped on a thermostat to indicate the operating (opening) temperature of the thermostat 60. Bypass valve- used to permit coolant flow when the thermostat is closed. 61. Bypass thermostat- thermostat with an additional valve that blocks off the bypass for routing all the hot coolant through the radiator, not just most of the hot coolant 62. Temperature light warning- informs the driver when the engine is overheating. When the coolant becomes too hot, a temperature sending unit in the engine block closes 63. Engine temperature gauge- shows the exact operating temperature of the engine coolant. A vari- able resistance sending unit and a gauge are used in the circuit 64. Antifreeze- is mixed with water to produce engine coolant 65. Block heater- may be used on an engine to help with engine starting in cold weather by heating the coolant. A block heater is most commonly used on diesel engines because they are harder to start in cold weather 66. Hybrid cooling system- can use either circu- lated air or circulated liquid coolant to remove excess heat from components in the electric powertrain 67. Hybrid air cooling system- uses an electric blower fan and a system of ducts to route cool passenger compartment air around the high voltage battery pack 68. Hybrid liquid cooling- system uses an electric water pump, small diameter hoses, and a separate radiator or heat exchanger to pull heat out of the HV battery, HV PCM, and motor-generator 69. HV battery radiator- small air-to-liquid heat exchanger is mounted in the battery housing 70. HV battery fan- can be energized by the HV ECM to force fresh air through the air-to-liquid heat exchanger and over the battery pack outer surfaces for cooling 71.
