To clean a car radiator, it is necessary to remove the radiator from the car and manually remove scale using hammers, scrapers, and shovels. This method has low descaling efficiency, high labor intensity, is difficult to clean thoroughly, and can easily cause secondary damage to the radiator. Below is some relevant information about car radiators: 1. Concept: The radiator is part of the car's cooling system. The radiator in the engine's water cooling system consists of three parts: the inlet chamber, outlet chamber, main plate, and radiator core. 2. Material: There are two main types of car radiators: aluminum and copper. The former is used in general passenger vehicles, while the latter is used in large commercial vehicles. The materials and manufacturing technology of car radiators have developed rapidly. Aluminum radiators, with their obvious advantages in material lightweighting, are gradually replacing copper radiators in the field of cars and light vehicles. Meanwhile, copper radiator manufacturing technology and processes have made significant progress, and copper brazed radiators have obvious advantages in engine radiators for buses, construction machinery, and heavy trucks.
