Does replacing the radiator affect the car?

Replacing the radiator does not affect the car. The radiator, also known as the heat exchanger and overflow tank, is an important component of a water-cooled engine. It serves as the heat exchanger for the water-cooled engine, maintaining the engine's normal operating temperature through air convection cooling. It is part of the cooling system that ensures the engine operates within the normal temperature range. The radiator has inlet and outlet pipes connected to the engine at the top and bottom. The engine is equipped with a water pump that circulates the coolant. The coolant absorbs heat from high-temperature areas of the engine to ensure it operates at the proper temperature. The heated coolant is then pumped into the upper inlet of the radiator. The radiator features louvers for cooling, after which the coolant flows through the lower pipe back into the engine for circulation. A fan behind the radiator louvers provides additional cooling by blowing air.
