Which of the following maintains pressure in the cooling system?

61% Answer Correctly

water jacket

thermostat

water pump

radiator cap


Solution

The radiator is responsible for tranferring heat from the coolant to the outside air. Radiator hoses transfer coolant to and from the engine to the radiator and a radiator cap maintains pressure in the cooling system to increase the boiling point of the coolant mixture and thus allow it to absorb more heat.
