About Coolant Pipes

Part of the car's cooling system, the Nissan coolant pipe plays an important role in enabling the engine to function as efficiently as possible and to perform at its best. The main function of the cooling system is to keep the engine cool and stop it from overheating. An engine that persistently overheats can cause big damage to the engine and mechanical parts of the car. The cooling system also enables the engine to quickly reach the heat required for internal combustion to occur and helps to keep the engine maintained at this constant heat. This means the engine can reach optimum performance as quickly as possible; a cold car engine does not run properly and can cause damage to the engine and components. It is important, therefore, that the temperature of the engine is precisely right, and the Nissan coolant pipe functions to enable this to happen.

The coolant hoses or pipes are designed to withstand extremes of temperature and to absorb vibration. Coolant pipes can be manufactured from a number of materials but are often made from ethylene propylene EPDM rubber, because of its ability to cope with extremes of temperature. The coolant pipe is connected to the top of the radiator and connects to the engine via the thermostat. There is also a coolant pipe at the bottom of the radiator which connects to the water pump.

Coolant, a combination of water and anti-freeze, is responsible for helping to make sure the engine doesn't overheat. The cooling system does its job by allowing liquid coolant to move through the cooling passages in the engine. The Nissan coolant pipe functions to carry the coolant into and out of the radiator. As the coolant travels through the engine, it absorbs the heat from the engine which in turn cools the engine down. When the liquid leaves the engine it flows into the radiator via the Nissan coolant pipe. The radiator removes the heat from the coolant into the air being blown through the radiator by the fan. The radiator is usually made of aluminium and consists of a series of internal tubes, which allow the liquid coolant to flow through the radiator. The radiator has little fins on the end, which act as heat conductors, removing the heat from the liquid in the tubes and transferring it to the air that is being pumped through the radiator.  The radiator has a pressure valve and two tanks on either side which store any excess liquid coolant before it passes through the outlet pipe and returns to the water pump, via the coolant pipe, and the process begins again. 

The correct amount of coolant needs to be present, and the right amount of coolant flowing through the radiator at all times that the car is in motion. If the coolant levels are too low this can have fatal results for the cooling system and subsequently the engine. The Nissan coolant pipe needs to be in sound condition so that the coolant can travel freely in and out of the radiator; any cracks, dents, or beaks could compromise the flow of the coolant. The coolant level sensor functions to ensure that when the level of coolant drops below the correct level that the driver is alerted to this. Usually located in the coolant reservoir/recovery tank or directly in the radiator, the coolant level sensor measures the amount of coolant in the radiator. If there is not enough coolant, a switch is activated which sends a signal to illuminate the warning light on the dashboard. This indicates that there is a problem with the cooling system which will need investigating.

Nissan trivia

• The Nissan Patrol is a powerhouse of a vehicle, and currently holds the world record for a production car pulling an aircraft. The SUV wasn’t allowed any modifications to tackle this impressive feat, and managed to pull the 170-tonne plane a massive 50 metres.
• Nissan and the French manufacturer Renault have had a long and successful partnership, sharing technologies and manufacturing resources.
• Nissan built the very first limo and made it specifically for the Emperor of Japan. The car was powered by a growling V8 engine and was just over six metres long.
• The Nissan GT-R is widely considered to be the fastest street-legal car in Europe, after beating both Ferrari and Porsche on the Nürburgring racing track. It is currently the fastest production car in the world.
• The Nissan Patrol SUV is also in the record books, holding the title of the Largest Synchronised Car Dance. In 2018, 180 Patrol SUVs performed the vehicular dance in Dubai.
