Part of Lesson Plan: **Inspection and Pressure Testing of Cooling System (updated) By Jose Sanchez

Activity Overview / Details

Students will be taken into the shop and given a live example of what can happen when the cooling system fails. I will show them a radiator that has failed due to over-pressure in the system caused by a faulty radiator cap. The students will then be taken back into the class and given a handout with the proper procedure for completing a visual inspection and pressure test. I will cover the proper way to operate the test equipment. I will then discuss the process with the students to clarify any misunderstandings.
