A radiator keeps your car engine cool through a heat exchange process. It is one of the most important parts of your engine’s cooling system as its purpose is to cool the extremely hot coolant that circulating through your car’s motor to keep it from getting too hot and causing severe damage. It is made up of an aluminum fins system and tubing used to carry the coolant throughout your motor. A properly functioning radiator allows your vehicle’s cooling system to operate efficiently ultimately preventing engine failure.
How Does A Car Radiator Work?
As the hot coolant circulates through the radiator from the engine, a fan blows cool air through the radiator, allowing the heat to transfer from the coolant and out of the car engine. This action keeps your engine at the proper temperature for operation.
