As a supplier of auto accessories & parts, I will introduce the radiator.

 

What is the Radiator Used for?

Radiator


The function of the car radiator is to store water and dissipate heat. The radiator is the main part of the cooling system, the purpose is to protect the engine from damage caused by overheating. The principle of the radiator is to use cold air to reduce the temperature of the coolant from the engine in the radiator. The radiator belongs to the automobile cooling system. The radiator in the engine water cooling system is composed of three parts: the water inlet chamber, the water outlet chamber, the main fin and the radiator core. The radiator cools the coolant that has reached a high temperature. When the tubes and fins of the radiator are exposed to the airflow generated by the cooling fan and the airflow generated by the movement of the vehicle, the coolant in the radiator becomes cold.

 

The Working Principle of the Radiator

 

In order to avoid overheating of the engine, the parts around the combustion chamber (cylinder liner, cylinder head, valve, etc.) must be properly cooled. In order to ensure the cooling effect, the automobile cooling system generally consists of a radiator, a thermostat, a water pump, a cylinder water channel, a cylinder head water channel, and a fan. The radiator is responsible for the cooling of the circulating water. Its water pipes and radiating fins are mostly made of aluminum. The aluminum water pipes are made of flat shape and the radiating fins are corrugated. Pay attention to the heat dissipation performance. The installation direction is perpendicular to the direction of air flow. The wind resistance should be small and the cooling efficiency should be high.

 

The coolant flows in the radiator core, and the air passes outside the radiator core. The hot coolant becomes cold by dissipating heat to the air, and the cold air heats up by absorbing the heat radiated by the coolant, so the radiator is a heat exchanger.

 

Use and Maintenance of the Radiator

1. The radiator should not be in contact with any acid, alkali or other corrosive properties.

2. It is recommended to use soft water or hard water after softening treatment to avoid blockage of the radiator and the generation of scale.

3. In order to avoid the corrosion of the radiator, please be sure to use the long-lasting anti-rust and antifreeze that is produced by a regular manufacturer and meets the national standards.

4. In the process of installing the radiator, please do not damage the radiator (sheet) or bump the radiator to ensure the heat dissipation capacity and sealing.

5. When the radiator is completely drained and then filled with water, turn on the drain switch of the engine block first, and then close it when water flows out to avoid blisters.

6. In daily use, check the water level at any time, and add water after stopping the machine to cool down. When adding water, slowly open the water tank cover, and the operator should stay away from the water filling port as much as possible to prevent burns caused by high-pressure steam spraying from the water filling port.

7. The effective environment of the spare radiator should be kept ventilated and dry.

8. Depending on the actual situation, the user should completely clean the core of the radiator within 1 to 3 months. When cleaning, rinse with clean water along the reverse side of the air inlet.
