Gearbox:
A gearbox is a mechanical component used to change the speed (RPM) and
increase the motor's torque in layman's terms. Now regarding the location of
the gearbox in the car, it is connected to the motor from one end. The shaft of
the motor is associated with the gearbox via gears.
Radiator pump:
A water pump, usually of the centrifugal type, to circulate the coolant
through the system; a thermostat to control temperature by varying the
amount of coolant going to the radiator; a fan to draw cool air through the
radiator.
Thermostat:
A thermostat exerts control by switching heating or cooling devices on or off, or
by regulating the flow of a heat transfer fluid as needed, to maintain the
correct temperature. A thermostat can often be the main control unit for a
heating or cooling system, in applications ranging from ambient air control to
automotive coolant control. Thermostats are used in any device or system that
heats or cools to a setpoint temperature.
CrankShaft:
The most common crankshaft configurations for straight-twin engines are 360
degrees, 180 degrees and 270 degrees. In an engine with a 360 degree
crankshaft, both pistons move up and down at the same time.
Temperature Sensor:
A temperature sensor is a device used to measure temperature. This can be air
temperature, liquid temperature or the temperature of solid matter. There are
different types of temperature sensors available and they each use different
technologies and principles to take the temperature measurement.
Oxygen Sensor:
An oxygen sensor (or lambda sensor, where lambda refers to air–fuel
equivalence ratio, usually denoted by λ) or probe or sond, is an electronic
device that measures the proportion of oxygen (O 2) in the gas or liquid being
analysed.
