Electric Thermostat
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
The electric thermostat contains a wax expansion element that incorporates a heater element. The increased wax temperature provides higher engine coolant temperature during part load conditions and at low speed cycles. The increased engine coolant temperature results in reduced friction in the engine, improved combustion in the cylinders and reduced fuel consumption and emissions.
The electric thermostat heater element assembled within the wax element regulates the engine coolant temperature during high load conditions and speed points. This protects the engine from thermal overload.
