Does replacing a car radiator make it an accident vehicle?
1 Answers
Replacing a car radiator does not classify the vehicle as an accident vehicle. The radiator, also known as the heat exchanger, is part of the car's cooling system and consists of an inlet chamber, outlet chamber, main plate, and radiator core. The functions of the car radiator are: 1. To absorb heat from the engine block and prevent the engine from overheating; 2. To use water as a heat transfer medium through the cooling water circuit, dissipating heat through large-area cooling fins via convection to maintain the engine's optimal operating temperature. The method for cleaning scale from a car radiator is: 1. Park the vehicle and turn off the engine, wait for the coolant temperature to drop, then open the expansion tank and add radiator cleaner; 2. Start the engine and let it idle for 5 to 10 minutes after the cooling fan activates; 3. Turn off the engine and remove the front bumper; 4. After the coolant temperature has completely cooled, drain the radiator cleaner along with the coolant; 5. Replace with new engine coolant.
