No thermostat

[testament11]

naku bro, wag mo antayin si sir mark_t ang magsalita regarding dito.

pero one thing, thermostat should not be removed. pag sira, palitan, wag alisin. regulator mo yan eh. pag wala yan, posible mali ang temperature reading na nakukuha mo.

[cjtjamandra]

kapag sinabing umabot sa 3/4 yung temperature ibig sabihin ba nag overheat na?

yung thermostat ba ng aircon san nakalagay? kasi yung thermostat na sinasabi ko yung nsa tabi nung engine.

so the main reason kaya tinanggal niya yung thermostat is maybe nagooverheat kasi?

sorry newbie pa lang eh. hehe

[testament11]

nope pero hindi normal pag nasa 3/4 na ang temperature mo.

i know kung anong thermostat ang sinasabi mo, yung engine thermostat. its different sa thermostat ng aircon pero same functions sila.

actually yan ang reasons ng mga mekaniko kung bakit nila inaalis ang thermostat ng sasakyan. pero hindi pa rin dapat yan ang gawin dahil mawawalan ka ng regulator. mali talaga alisin ang thermostat pag nagooverheat. better yet, pacheck ang thermostat, pag sira, palitan, wag alisin.

we just bought a 2nd hand honda lxi 1996. npansin namin wla na xang thermostat. ano kya posibleng reason nun? sabi kasi nung my ari di nya daw alam.

possible kayang nagoverheat na yun makina kya tinanggal?


help nmn po.. thx

possible nag overgheat ng yung engine.. baka sira na sir yung thermostat.. tapos hindi na niya pinalitan.. pag wala nyan. mahihirapan ang engine ma reach yung normal operating temperature..

may mga nabasa na din ako na dapat nga daw may thermostat kas i matagal maginit yung engine kung naka rekta. kaya pala sabi nung owner medyo binobomba daw niya yung kotse bago ma optimize yung performance. kumbaga parang mga diesel na sasakyan.

balak ko na ngang magpalagay ng thermostat asap.

sa tingin ko sa sobrang init ngayon kailangan na din tangalin ang thermostat lahat ng van ko diesel naka alis na lahat ang thermostat sa radiator pati rekta na din ang aux fan halos 4 year na ganun wala naman bad reaction na nangyayari

nothing wrong with no thermostat specially in phil. i dont think it will get that cold like here in california or colder part of the US. i think main problem in phil is running full water not running 50/50 coolant, people should remember running full water will promote rust and lower boiling point. i always suggest redline water wetter vs coolant but if you can find water wetter coolant is better than full on water.

[cjtjamandra]

may ganyan ba dito sa pinas?


pansin ko nga din medyo di malamig yung aircon niya, may kinalaman ba yun dun?

sa pagkakaintindi ko din baka madaling masira yung radiator fan kasi laging naka on, tsaka mabilis maubos yung tubig kasi walang thermostat?

minsan sa sobrang init ng panahon parang gusto ko na din tanggalin thermostat ng 99 civic ko eh. naranasan ko na ito sa 96 lxi ko, naka recta yung fan no thermostat. parang mas malamig at maayos sya tumakbo although yung fact na lagi naka-on yung rad fan nakakatakot baka masunog agad yung motor. mahal ang bago/surplus na rad fan motor.

i may investigate the possibility of removing the thermostat sa civic ko ngayon and then using a timed switch mechanism to control the radiatior fan. that, or the aircon thermostat switch na ginagamit pag kino-convert yung aircon to automatic. i'm sure it can also control a fan.

from the dash, i can then select low, normal, high to control fan activation. pag low setting, maybe 1 activation every 2 minutes, and so on and so forth... selecting high will of course trigger full time fan operation.

matanda na kasi yung engine, at mapapadalas na magluko yung thrmostat at thermoswitch (its what turns on the fan. its a sensor). 700 yung thermostat, at 1200 yung thermoswitch sa casa. the problem is that these components become less reliable when the other parts like radiator, fans start breaking down one at a time.

at dito rin kasi normal operating temp is reached faster than in the temperate countries due to high ambient air temp (even if cold season dito). the engine cooling system will pressurise din naman even without thermostat, and i can do away with the thermoswitch.

what do you guys think?

Another thermostat debate?

The only time removing the thermostat becomes a solution is when it gets stuck in the closed position. Contrary to popular belief, the thermostat increases the cooling system's efficiency aside from getting the engine up to operating temperature faster and keeping it there. So the whole argument that we don't need it because we're in a warm country is purely fiction.
