Mitsubishi Outlander: Engine Cooling
General Information
The cooling system is designed to keep every part of
the engine at appropriate temperature in whatever
condition the engine may be operated. The cooling
method is of the water-cooled, pressure forced circulation
type in which the water pump pressurizes coolant
and circulates it throughout the engine. If the
coolant temperature exceeds the prescribed temperature,
the thermostat opens to circulate the coolant
through the radiator as well so that the heat
absorbed by the coolant may be radiated into the air.
The water pump is of the centrifugal impeller type
and is driven by the drive belt from the crankshaft
<2.4L ENGINE>. The water pump is of the centrifugal
impeller type and is driven by the timing belt from
the crankshaft <3.0L ENGINE>. The radiator is the
corrugated fin, cross flow type.
