A: Cooling System
This is a new section and still under construction some of the pages / links may not be fully working yet.
DESCRIPTION
The coolant is maintained in circulation through the system by an impellor-type pump secured tothe generator
mounting bracket and positioned immediately in front of
a nylon cooling fan. The pump is driven by a vee belt of
rubber which also serves to drive the generator. Coolant
is drawn into the pump from the bottom radiator tank
through a short rubber hose. from where it is delivered
to the engine cylinder block and thence to the cylinder
head.
When the engine has attained its correct working temperature. a thermostat incorporated in the cooling
system and situated in the cylinder head relieves. and
permits the coolant to flow around the system where it
returns direct to the radiator header tank.
The nylon cooling fan which is formed with a set number
of blades. blows cooling air through the radiator grills.
thereby reducing the cooling temperature; this being
particularly necessary during periods of in-town driving
or when the car is stationary with the engine idling. |
