00:00:03.200 action so what we have here is a local 00:00:08.48000:00:08.490 sandwich plate to connect an oil cooler 00:00:11.35000:00:11.360 it has an eat-in outlet and an inlet for 00:00:17.90000:00:17.910 to connect the hoses to the oil cooler 00:00:19.70000:00:19.710 and it has a thermostat so I was 00:00:24.20000:00:24.210 wondering how the thermostat actually 00:00:26.42000:00:26.430 works and I didn't find any information 00:00:28.84900:00:28.859 on the internet so I had to do some 00:00:30.66900:00:30.679 experiments myself to figure it out so 00:00:34.37000:00:34.380 this here is a spacer which is required 00:00:37.70000:00:37.710 on my car but let's simulate that this 00:00:40.22000:00:40.230 is the part of the engine where you 00:00:42.56000:00:42.570 would normally mount the oil filter so 00:00:45.20000:00:45.210 the oil will flow to the filter through 00:00:47.69000:00:47.700 these two channels and then go into the 00:00:50.60000:00:50.610 filter being filtered and return to the 00:00:52.72900:00:52.739 engine through this hole so again if we 00:00:55.72900:00:55.739 connect that up to the oil field to the 00:00:57.86000:00:57.870 salvage plate it will look something 00:01:00.65000:01:00.660 like this so the center portion here is 00:01:04.25000:01:04.260 closed off and oil will flow to the to 00:01:08.60000:01:08.610 the door part of the sandwich plate so 00:01:14.96000:01:14.970 this is then the lower part of the 00:01:17.42000:01:17.430 sandwich plate remember the middle goal 00:01:20.39000:01:20.400 is blocked off so oil will will flow to 00:01:24.46900:01:24.479 this area here and from here it has only 00:01:30.85000:01:30.860 two ways to go so one of them is either 00:01:35.31900:01:35.329 through this let me see if I can turn it 00:01:38.33000:01:38.340 like this one way is through this hole 00:01:42.67900:01:42.689 which is actually the thermostat you can 00:01:45.31900:01:45.329 see my fingers moving down below it's a 00:01:47.12000:01:47.130 little bit difficult with the angle 00:01:48.38000:01:48.390 there we have it so there it is and and 00:01:52.49000:01:52.500 from the add will flow up to the to the 00:01:55.46000:01:55.470 top portion of the 00:01:57.41000:01:57.420 after sandwich plate however it can also 00:02:01.21900:02:01.229 flow through this hole and this hole is 00:02:05.14900:02:05.159 the outlet to the to the engine oil 00:02:09.80000:02:09.810 cooler so oil will always flow to this 00:02:14.24000:02:14.250 outlet because there's nothing blocking 00:02:16.31000:02:16.320 it off so let's have a look at the other 00:02:19.94000:02:19.950 side I'll keep my finger here in the 00:02:23.54000:02:23.550 outlet to the oil cooler turn it around 00:02:25.76000:02:25.770 and you can see of course and the other 00:02:30.77000:02:30.780 side in Centreville would be closed off 00:02:33.17000:02:33.180 as well by the adapter and the oil 00:02:36.17000:02:36.180 filter on top of that so the oil will 00:02:39.74000:02:39.750 flow in this area here and from here it 00:02:44.00000:02:44.010 will go up to the oil field and then 00:02:45.80000:02:45.810 back to the engine it will get here 00:02:48.65000:02:48.660 either from the outlet here on the lower 00:02:53.63000:02:53.640 side through the oil cooler and then 00:02:56.21000:02:56.220 back in through this Inlet here or it 00:02:59.93000:02:59.940 can flow through the thermostat which is 00:03:02.99000:03:03.000 open at the moment because it's cold so 00:03:05.84000:03:05.850 you can see again if we can catch the 00:03:07.46000:03:07.470 table down below there we have it 00:03:09.05000:03:09.060 see the wide table down there and of 00:03:14.93000:03:14.940 course when it's open it will be an 00:03:18.62000:03:18.630 easier path for the oil to flow through 00:03:21.41000:03:21.420 the thermostat because obviously the 00:03:25.00000:03:25.010 lines to the oil cooler will be and the 00:03:28.61000:03:28.620 I cool itself would be filled with with 00:03:30.86000:03:30.870 oil so the the path of least resistance 00:03:33.25900:03:33.269 for the oil will be through the 00:03:35.60000:03:35.610 thermostat 00:03:38.08000:03:38.090 however worth noticing there's nothing 00:03:41.63000:03:41.640 and no thermostat blocking the flow to 00:03:44.00000:03:44.010 the oil cooler there will always be a 00:03:46.40000:03:46.410 flow to the eye cooler and the eye 00:03:49.06900:03:49.079 cooler will always be supplied with all 00:03:51.31900:03:51.329 no matter if the engine is cold if it's 00:03:54.25900:03:54.269 winter or whatever you will always have 00:03:56.90000:03:56.910 a flow to the Ojai problem so for the 00:03:59.78000:03:59.790 sake of demonstration I put the sandwich 00:04:03.89000:04:03.900 plate in the oven in a preheated oven 00:04:06.14000:04:06.150 it was preheated to a 120 degrees and I 00:04:09.38000:04:09.390 left it there for 10 minutes so as you 00:04:12.80000:04:12.810 can see the firm's that has now closed 00:04:15.83000:04:15.840 and so the oil has to flow through the 00:04:19.46000:04:19.470 oil cooler as you can see now the 00:04:23.42000:04:23.430 thermostat is opening and and allowing 00:04:27.77000:04:27.780 again to for divide to bypassed 00:04:31.21000:04:31.220 high-schooler still it will still flow 00:04:33.71000:04:33.720 through the oil cooler as well this is 00:04:36.68000:04:36.690 sped up to four times normal speed 00:04:40.63000:04:40.640 otherwise we'll have to wait quite long 00:04:43.27900:04:43.289 so as you can see as it cools down the 00:04:47.14000:04:47.150 thermostat is opening again so it's not 00:04:51.05000:04:51.060 blocking your cooler it's leaving a path 00:04:53.39000:04:53.400 for the oil to have an easier way to get 00:04:57.26000:04:57.270 into the water filled up then through 00:04:58.94000:04:58.950 the oil cooler
