More About Your Auto’s Radiator
As you probably already know, your car’s engine generates a tremendous amount of heat. Part of this comes from the friction between the moving metal parts, while the rest comes from combustion, literally a series of small, controlled explosions. Your vehicle has a rugged cooling system to deal with these temperatures and prevent a catastrophic meltdown. One of the major components of this system is the radiator. The radiator is an intricate pattern of tiny tubes designed to move heated fluid–coolant and water–away from the engine to an area where it gets sufficient air exposure for cooling. To aid in the process, the radiator features a fin design on the exterior of the tubes. This maximizes the airflow and surface area, allowing for maximum cooling. A fan also helps draw air across the radiator to ensure proper cooling. The design works well unless the radiator develops a problem. For example, if dirt, grass, or trash from the roadway covers part of the radiator, it can embed itself between the fins. This creates a clog so that adequate cooling is no longer possible. Also, it’s possible for flying debris to puncture the radiator, allowing fluid to escape. Rust is another problem. Internally, it can clog the radiator, impeding fluid circulation. Externally, it can eat a hole through the metal, creating a leak. Other common problems related to the radiator are hose leaks that disrupt the flow to or from this component and a failed fan that prevents enough air from blowing across the radiator. Regardless of the problem, you can always count on our team to help you keep your vehicle cool.
