Thermostat is a temperature sensitive device. It places between the engine and the radiator. The purpose of the thermostat is to maintain optimum temperature of the engine to draw maximum efficiency of the system.  How will it work is, it blocks the flow of coolant to the radiator till engine gets enough warm. When the

Coolant reservoir
