How to Clean Scale in a Car Radiator?
1 Answers
Cleaning scale in a car radiator involves the following steps: 1. Park the vehicle and turn off the engine. Once the coolant temperature has dropped, 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. Once the coolant has completely cooled, drain the radiator cleaner along with the coolant. 5. Replace with fresh engine coolant. The radiator is a key component in the car's cooling system, serving two main functions: 1. It absorbs heat from the engine block to prevent overheating. 2. It uses water as a heat transfer medium in the cooling circuit, dissipating heat through large cooling fins via convection to maintain the engine's optimal operating temperature.
