Can the exterior of a car radiator be washed with water?

[BrielleFitz]

Car radiator exteriors can be washed with water. Below is an introduction to the cleaning methods and intervals for radiator exteriors. Cleaning methods for radiator exteriors: The correct cleaning method involves removing the radiator for washing. Separate the radiator and condenser, then use a brush or high-pressure water gun to remove dirt from the gaps. Rinse the surface with clean water, but be careful not to damage the aluminum fins or pipes. Aluminum fins are easily deformed and can be damaged with excessive force. Too many damaged fins will lead to poor heat dissipation, and damaged pipes on the radiator can cause coolant leaks. Cleaning intervals for radiator exteriors: It is recommended to clean the exterior of a car radiator every six months. Since it contains coolant, which prevents the cooling system from freezing in low temperatures and boiling in high temperatures, impurities and sediment can accumulate during use, affecting heat dissipation efficiency. Therefore, regular cleaning is necessary.
