What are the symptoms of air in the radiator?
1 Answers
The most obvious symptom is that the warm air inside the car is not hot. When there is air resistance in the radiator's coolant, it causes poor circulation of the coolant, which is a sign of air in the radiator. Even after filling the radiator with coolant, if it does not circulate at the normal rate within the engine, a high-temperature warning may still appear. This is likely caused by excessive air in the radiator. Below is additional information: 1. Car Radiator: Also known as a heat exchanger, it is a key component in the car'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, and then returns to the water jacket in a continuous cycle, thereby achieving temperature regulation. It is also an essential part of the car's engine. 2. Radiator Principle: The radiator is a crucial component of a water-cooled engine. As an important part of the engine's cooling circuit, 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. Thus, the engine's heat is transferred through the liquid coolant circuit, using water as the heat carrier. The heat is then dissipated through large-area cooling fins via convection, maintaining the engine's optimal operating temperature.
