Pressurizing the coolant system raises the boiling point of the coolant.
The water pump is mounted on the front of the engine block and is typically belt driven to ensure constant coolant circulation whenever the engine is running.

The water pump impellers spinning blades apply centrifugal force to move the engine coolant through the water pump.
With a cold engine, the thermostat stays closed (A) to retain pressure and heat as the engine warms up. When the engine is warm, the thermostat opens (B), allowing the coolant to travel to the radiator to be cooled.
A spring-loaded bypass valve opens under coolant pressure, while the main thermostat remains closed.
A crossflow radiator has horizontal tubes and a tank on each side of the core.

The pressure valve maintains the system pressure and allows excess pressure to vent. The vacuum valve allows coolant to return to the system from the recovery tank.

Most radiator caps are mounted on the top or side tank of the radiator.
Some radiator caps are mounted in a remote location to provide an accessible filling point.

The engine-driven fan draws air into the engine compartment through the radiator core.
Electric fans can be mounted directly to the radiator, as required with transverse-mounted engines on front-wheel drive vehicles.
Electric fans can turn on at any time, even when the engine is shut down. Always disconnect the power lead before working around it.

The flexible fan blade changes shape to reduce operating drag and noise as engine speed increases.
The center of the clutch is a fluid-drive that controls the speed of the fan.

The bimetallic temperature sensor spring controls the amount of silicone that is allowed into the clutch drive.
Radiator hoses must be large enough to carry full coolant flow, and they must be kept in good condition to withstand the heat and pressure of the cooling system and engine compartment.

The heater core is a heat exchanger that is mounted inside a heater housing on the bulkhead or inside the passenger compartment under the instrument panel.

This type of manually-operated heater control valve is connected to the instrument panel heater control by a wire cable.
This vacuum-operated heater-control valve uses a vacuum motor to mechanically move the valve open and closed.
The vacuum motor responds to vacuum signals from inside the passenger compartment, based on settings of the heater control panel.

Airflow over the cooling fins absorbs the excess engine heat.
The hot air is then used to warm the passenger compartment.
