VIDEO: Electronic Thermostats
Andrew Markel explains how electronic thermostats can increase efficiency and decrease emissions through controlled heating.
Electronically Controlled Thermostats: A New Take On Wax And Brass
A conventional thermostat is like a carburetor in that they only respond to throttle and engine vacuum signals. A conventional thermostat can only respond to changes in temperature caused by heat from the engine and cooling from the radiator. An electronic thermostat can preemptively control the temperature the same way the fuel injection system can control
The Engine Thermostat: Understanding Electronically Assisted Thermostats
The engine thermostat plays an important role in increasing engine combustion efficiency and reducing emissions. But today’s electrically assisted (also called “map-controlled”) thermostats provide broader and faster operation than the traditional engine thermostat.
MAHLE Aftermarket Inc. Releases 2016 Thermostat Catalog For Commercial Customers
MAHLE Aftermarket Inc. recently announced the release of its 2016 Thermostat Catalog for Asian, European and domestic applications in North America. The catalog features 150 SKUs, including engine coolant thermostats, transmission oil thermostats, thermal switches and more.
BMW Tech Tip: 2E81, 2E82 Codes Lead To Replaced Thermostat, Water Pump
A vehicle benefits from an electric water pump in several ways. The pump is not belt-driven, which enhances performance of the vehicle, and it prevents the engine from being bogged down while the air conditioning is on. Another advantage of an electric water pump is the equal distribution of engine coolant throughout an engine because the pump’s propeller speed is not dependent on engine speed.
Tech Tip: Thermostat Technology
Although the humble thermostat isn’t generally considered to be a "high-tech" component, it continues to serve a number of very critical functions in the modern, computer-controlled import vehicle. To better understand these functions, let’s first consider that carbon and water are two major by-products of internal combustion that accumulate in an engine’s motor oil.
