The Volvo 740 Thermostat maintains a healthy operating temperature of the engine by opening and closing the flow of coolant between the block and radiator. The Thermostat is mounted in a small casing close to the radiator outlet and reads coolant warmth, responding to it to ensure that the motor warms fast but never exceeds its optimum range, saving power, economy, and life span. The series of early 740 cars involved a simple mechanical unit that is constructed around a coiled bimetallic strip, which bends with heat and closes a valve when cold and opens it when the metal expands. A wax pellet design was later taken up by Volvo, which is still mechanical but employs wax that expands smoothly when hot to raise a plunger to enable a smooth flow of coolant with greater precision. The highly important aspect is the style of movement; the bimetal snap action may lead to minor fluctuations in temperature, whereas the wax type will provide more reliable flow and longer service. Both Thermostats operate as closed-loop self-contained switches, linking with the cooling fan and water pump and not with electronics, thereby making the system simple and dependable. An ineffective Thermostat may result in slow warming up or overheating, and thus careful selection of the right temperature rating as stated by Volvo is critical. Having this little component functioning well, all Volvo 740s have stable engine heat and reliable cabin warmth all year round.
