COMPONENT FUNDAMENTALS
ROLE & OPERATION
The radiator is placed in the front of the vehicle, often attached to other heat exchangers, such as the intercooler or condenser. The radiator is essential for the cooling of combustion engines. In such engines, there may be as many as 4,000 petrol explosions per minute, each generating temperatures of up to 1,500°C.
The cooling liquid, circulating through a cooling jacket, cools the engine block, pistons, valves, gaskets, rings, engine head, and other elements of the engine. The circulating coolant receives the combustion heat. Flowing through the radiator, it exchanges the heat with atmospheric air.
IMPORTANT TO KNOW
Due to the frontal placement, the radiator is particularly exposed to light mechanical damages (insects, stone chips, high-pressure water cleaning), causing leakages.
A leaking or non-performing radiator will expose the engine to an excessive thermal overload, which can cause it to seize.
Water residue may block the radiator core, limiting the coolant flow.
Sediments and impurities from poor quality coolants, wrong coolant mixtures, or leak stop residues will also accumulate in the radiator tubes, limiting flow and cause limited performance.
Thermostat failures cause the cooling system to perform at incorrect temperatures, resulting in insufficient performance.
