What Are the Causes of Radiator Leakage?
1 Answers
Automobile radiator leakage may be caused by water pipe rupture, oil emulsification, loose radiator cap, leaking rubber pipe joints, cracked cooling tubes, or radiator damage. Below is relevant information: 1. The automobile radiator, also known as a heat exchanger, is a key component in the vehicle's cooling system. Its function is to dissipate heat. The coolant absorbs heat in the water jacket, flows to the radiator to release the heat, then returns to the water jacket in a continuous cycle, achieving temperature regulation. 2. The radiator is a crucial component of water-cooled engines. As an essential part of the cooling circuit in water-cooled engines, it absorbs heat from the engine block to prevent overheating. Due to water's high specific heat capacity, its temperature does not rise significantly after absorbing heat from the engine block. Therefore, the engine's heat is transferred through the liquid cooling circuit using water as a heat carrier, and then dissipated through large-area cooling fins via convection, maintaining the engine's optimal operating temperature.
