Locking cover of the cooling system

In system of circulation of cooling liquid under pressure the locking cover on a broad tank plays an important role:

  • The sealing surface of the screwed-up cover strong nestles on edge of an opening of a broad tank. Pressure cannot go down.
  • If when heating pressure in the cooling system exceeds 1,2–1,5 bars, the valve of adjustment of elevated pressure opens. Leveling pressure, will be able to leave a little water vapor.
  • When cooling liquid compresses again, and in the cooling system there is a lowered pressure. For alignment of the lowered pressure in a cover there is the second valve. It opens with the lowered pressure in 0,06-0,1 bars, and atmospheric air can get into a broad tank.

Check of valves of the increased and lowered pressure make-shifts

The one who does not want to waste efforts to check can just replace rather inexpensive cover. In a workshop it is checked the manometer:

 PERFORMANCE ORDER

  1. Pump up pressure.
  2. With a pressure of 1,2-1,5 bars the valve has to open.
  3. At uncovered squeeze a thick hose of supply of liquid.
  4. Put on and screw up a cover, release a hose.
  5. Release a hose.
  6. If the compressed hose is rounded again, the valve as it should be.
  7. If in the mornings before the first start-up hoses of supply of cooling liquid are flattened, then for certain not as it should be the valve of the lowered pressure.
