Glossary of Engine Cooling System Terms
J1004_201904
The objective of this glossary is to establish uniform definitions of parts and terminology for engine cooling systems. Components included are all those through which engine coolant is circulated: water pump, engine oil cooler, transmission and other coolant-oil coolers, charge air coolers, core engine, thermostat, radiator, external coolant tanks, and lines connecting them.
Rationale:
This document has been revised to show standard SAE units and dimensions. Several new terms have been added and clarification has been made to some definitions.
