ford stationary engine water temp gauge

The previous engine was not highly strengthened and its thermal efficiency was not high. The operating temperature of the engine was generally between 80 ° C and 90 ° C. If it exceeded this temperature, the engine temperature would be too high. However, the current engine is highly enhanced. The operating temperature of the engine is generally above 90 ° C, and even above 100 ° C for some engines. For example, the ford stationary engine normal operating temperature of gasoline engines used in cars is generally between 95 ° C and 105 ° C, and the normal operating temperature of highly enhanced diesel engines used in trucks is generally between 85 ° C and 95 ° C (some are higher, such as ford stationary engine engines with thermal management systems). If this temperature is exceeded, the engine coolant will boil and vaporize, losing its cooling effect, and the engine temperature will rise sharply, This phenomenon is characterized by thick white fog emerging from the engine water tank cover, which is called engine high temperature.

At present, most of the vehicles such as ford stationary are EFI gasoline vehicles, which can be warmed up for 1-2 minutes in winter. At first, rapid acceleration is avoided . In the past, old carburetor cars needed to be warmed up more. (In addition, the low-speed gear was used to run at 10-20 for 2.3 minutes at the beginning, which is also a good way to warm up the car.) The main reason for warming up the car in winter is that the lubricating oil of the car is thick in winter , and the engine parts are not fully lubricated. Therefore , the car should be fully lubricated before moving to reduce wear. If it is an old manual model with a long history , it will take a long time .

When the engine is hot , there will be a display on the water temperature gauge on the instrument panel , and a warning tone will also be issued . Normally , the pointer of the water temperature gauge is at the middle position, about 90 ° C (it does not mean that the engine temperature is 90 ° C, but generally higher than 90 ° C). If the pointer points to the red area above 120 ° C , it means that the engine is high temperature .
