General information about the cooling system (Mitsubishi Carisma)

The cooling system is designed to maintain the optimal thermal mode of the engine under any operating conditions. This engine uses a liquid cooling system with forced circulation of liquid through the cooling jacket of the cylinder block and cylinder head using a centrifugal pump. When the set temperature of the coolant is exceeded, the thermostat opens and the coolant begins to circulate through the radiator, giving off heat to the air.

The centrifugal pump is driven by a timing belt or a drive belt from the crankshaft pulley.

The radiator is of the tubular-plate type and is cooled by an electrically driven fan.

The electric fan is controlled by the electronic engine control unit in accordance with the engine thermal conditions.
