What is "heat soak"? I saw this term on another thread in reference to a starter, and I asked what it meant but got no replies. I'd never heard it before. Whutizzit?

Re: What is "heat soak"? Heat soak is when the starter has so much internal heat it will not turn over until cooled down. I have a 1931 Chevrolet and a 1932 Chrysler that suffer from heat soak. Wayne

Re: What is "heat soak"? I believe it's in reference to heat cooking the internals of starters and solenoids.

Many cars use a heat shield to protect the starter and prevent drag |
Re: What is "heat soak"? A welding term. Not sure what it has to do with starters. A large piece of cast iron must be heated in an oven or with a rosebud before it can be welded with nickel rod. Not many old time welders around anymore.

Re: What is "heat soak"? Thanks guys. I love it when I learn something new every day.

Re: What is "heat soak"? When i worked in the ford dealerships, we used that term to describe how the engine and the engine compartment heats up after the engine is shut off, as the coolant is no longer flowing to the radiator and back to cool the engine. This can cause fuel and electrical problems.

Re: What is "heat soak"? When testing the coil you need to do a heat soak.
This is just allowing current to pass thru it to warm it up. Often a failing coil tests good when cold. It is just a term used to imply getting something warm. Like the engine compartment temp rises when you shut down because the heat is still there and no moving air to take it away. You get a heat soak condition with the engine compartment temp rising. It can be applied in different ways. |
Re: What is "heat soak"? Some have a whole different definition of the wurd.

Re: What is "heat soak"? You often use a heat soak when soldering to protect vulnerable components close to the heat source.

Anyway the thin stainless plate I made took care of my heat soak problem and this morning I went back to the metal yard and bought more stainless so I can make a heat shield for my Model A carb. Quote:

Re: What is "heat soak"? Isn't it interesting what folks use to make things!
A friend had NO trunk lid for his Model T, used a HEAVY commercial baking sheet, upside down & air scoops from 1/2 an old headlight shell. Bill Hoarder |

Re: What is "heat soak"? Today's cars deal with heat soak by keeping the electric fan running after shutting the engine off using temp sensors in the coolant. Some have electric auxiliary water pumps to circulate the coolant while the fan is running. This eliminates the rise in temp. and protects electronic components and may avoid an over rich startup if attempted during the heat soak period.
