Operating Principle of the Electronic Thermostat in Tank 300, 400, and 500 Engines
The modern engines of the Tank 300, Tank 400, and Tank 500 models are equipped with an intelligent temperature control system using an electronic thermostat. This component regulates the coolant temperature, adapting to current driving conditions and engine load.
Thermostat Operating Modes:
-
Low Load: during slow driving or idling in traffic, the thermostat limits coolant circulation through the radiator so the engine warms up faster and avoids overcooling.
-
Medium Load: during steady city or highway driving, the thermostat gradually opens to provide optimal heat exchange and maintain the desired temperature.
-
High Load: during rapid acceleration or high-speed driving, the thermostat fully opens to cool the engine as efficiently as possible and prevent overheating.
-
Maximum Load: in extreme conditions such as towing or off-road driving, the thermostat operates at full capacity to ensure maximum heat exchange.
Depending on the current load, the thermostat adjusts the coolant temperature, helping the engine operate in its optimal range.
IMCHIP’s Solution for Tank 300, 400, and 500
In urban driving conditions, vehicles often operate in low and medium load modes, which can lead to engine overheating. To improve reliability and extend engine life, IMCHIP specialists have developed a unique thermostat control algorithm that lowers the engine’s operating temperature specifically in these modes.
Benefits of this adjustment:
-
Reduced engine oil wear and extended oil life
-
Lower risk of engine detonation
-
Protection of rubber and plastic components from premature wear
-
Increased overall reliability and durability of the engine
This modification can be installed as a standalone upgrade or as part of a comprehensive chip tuning package, depending on your goals and preferences.
This solution is also suitable for Haval Dargo, Geely Atlas, and other models with 2-liter engines, as well as the Tank 500 Urban.
