A thermostat works to regulate the temperature of the coolant in a car's engine. It is located in the cooling system and uses a wax pellet that expands and contracts to either let coolant circulate through the radiator or bypass it. When the engine is cold, the thermostat is closed to allow the engine to quickly reach operating temperature. Once warm, it opens to allow coolant to flow through the radiator and maintain the proper temperature.
