Overview

The main function of the thermostat housing base is to protect the thermostat from the external environment.

Structure and function

The thermostat housing base usually consists of a base and a mounting cover. The base is fixed to the bottom of the engine or vehicle, and the mounting cover is responsible for fixing the thermostat. Its sturdy structure ensures the stability and durability of the thermostat. The main function of the thermostat is to adjust the flow of the cooling system according to the temperature of the coolant, and the base of the thermostat housing provides the necessary support and protection for this function.

Materials

The choice of material for the base of the thermostat housing has an important influence on its performance and durability. Commonly used materials include aluminum alloy, cast iron and stainless steel. Aluminum alloy has the advantages of light weight and good thermal conductivity, and is suitable for most car types. Cast iron material has high strength and wear resistance, suitable for heavy vehicles or high-performance automobiles. Stainless steel has excellent corrosion resistance, suitable for special environment or high requirements of the car.

Manufacturing process

The manufacturing process of the thermostat housing base includes casting, machining and surface treatment. The casting process can produce complex shapes, ensuring the robustness and stability of the base. Machining is used to accurately process the various parts of the base to ensure that its size and shape meet the design requirements. The surface treatment includes anti-rust, coating, etc. to improve the corrosion resistance and service life of the base.
