Q
does running heater help cool engine
I'm a seasoned industrial engineer with a keen interest in machine learning. Here to share insights on latest industry trends.
Turning on the heater in a vehicle can indeed help cool down the engine, primarily under circumstances where the engine is at risk of overheating. This effect occurs because the heater draws heat away from the engine and into the passenger compartment, acting as a supplementary cooling mechanism. The heat exchanger (heater core) in the heating system essentially transfers heat from the engine's coolant system to the air blown into the cabin. While this method does not fix underlying cooling system issues, such as low coolant levels, leaks, or a malfunctioning thermostat, it can provide a temporary solution by dissipating excess heat and thereby helping to lower the engine coolant temperature. However, it's essential to address any cooling system problems directly to prevent engine damage.
