Does the car radiator need cleaning?
1 Answers
The car radiator does need cleaning. Long-term neglect of radiator cleaning can affect its cooling and heat dissipation efficiency, causing the engine to operate at high temperatures without proper cooling. This can lead to malfunctions and, in severe cases, engine seizure, rendering the car unusable. The functions of the car radiator are: 1. To absorb heat from the engine block; 2. To prevent the engine from overheating. Maintenance methods for the radiator include: 1. Avoiding contact with any acids, alkalis, or other corrosive substances; 2. Using softened water to prevent internal clogging and scale buildup; 3. During installation, take care not to damage the cooling fins or the radiator itself to ensure optimal heat dissipation and sealing performance.
