Approximately 25 to 30 percent of the total heat input to the engine supplied by the fuel is absorbed by the engine cooling system. If this heat is not removed, engine internal temperatures would soon reach a point of component damage and engine failure.
- When it comes to the figures, most car engines have the maximum heat capacity of approximately 250 degrees Fahrenheit. That temperature actually represents liquid coolant since other components such as exhaust valves can go hotter than the given numbers.
