Almost all modern car engines use a water cooling system to maintain warmer temperatures. So, the water into “blood” which channels the heat from generating sources to the final disposal. The problem, no air bubbles appear in the path of cooling water. Can disrupt the air entering the pressure in the system and ultimately disrupt the engine cooling water task. Greater risk because of overheated engines among the components’ position in the cars is now more tightly.

Air can enter the radiator cap when opened and closed. That air exists between surface water and radiator cap. In addition, air may also exist because the radiator cap condition was not good. At the radiator cap there is a functioning valve air flow from the reservoir tank when the heat and sucking water from the reservoir to the radiator (when cold). Read the rest of this entry »

Together with Aisin AW Co. Ltd. (Manufacturing system on a car mechanics), ZENRIN Co. Ltd. (Navigation software manufacturers), and Toyota Mapmaster Incorporated, Toyota believes this technology will reduce accidents at intersections. Next, it will be applied on every Toyota’s domestic lineup in the future.
