Engine cooling system of UAZ Patriot with automatic transmission
The cooling system in the UAZ Patriot with automatic transmission is designed to maintain the optimal operating temperature of the engine and gearbox during operation. It consists of the following components:
Main components:
* Water pump
* Thermostat
* Radiator
* Expansion tank
* Hoses and pipes
Water pump:
Forces coolant through the cooling system.
Thermostat:
Regulates coolant temperature by opening when the set temperature is reached and allowing coolant to circulate through the radiator.
Radiator:
Cools the liquid by transferring heat to the environment through the circulation of air or liquid.
Expansion tank:
Accepts excess coolant as it expands during heating.
Hoses and pipes:
They connect the components of the cooling system and ensure the circulation of coolant.
Features of the UAZ Patriot cooling system with automatic transmission:
*Automatic transmission cooling system: The transmission cooling system is equipped with a separate heat exchanger that cools the automatic transmission oil, transfers heat to the engine coolant and sends the cooled oil back to the transmission.
* Temperature Sensor: The transmission is equipped with a temperature sensor that monitors oil temperature and turns on the cooling fan as needed.
*Cooling Fan: The electrically driven cooling fan helps the radiator cool the coolant at low speed or when engine load is high.
Cooling system maintenance:
To ensure proper operation of the cooling system, the following maintenance must be observed:
*Replace coolant regularly according to manufacturer’s recommendations.
* Check the coolant level and add it if necessary.
* Clean the radiator from debris and insects.
* Check hoses and pipes for leaks and cuts.
* If necessary, replace faulty components.
