What Causes the Radiator to Overheat?
1 Answers
The reasons for radiator overheating are as follows: Insufficient coolant: It should be promptly topped up to the appropriate level; Malfunctioning cooling fan: When the car operates at high speeds, the generated heat cannot be effectively transferred to the antifreeze, thereby affecting heat dissipation, leading to increased antifreeze temperature and issues like boiling over. Car water pump failure: Common failures include seized bearings and damaged impellers. Seized bearings are less likely, while impeller damage often involves cracks or detachment from the pump shaft. Information about the car radiator is as follows: Car radiator: Also known as a heat exchanger, it is a key component in the car's cooling system. Function: To dissipate heat. The coolant absorbs heat in the water jacket, flows to the radiator to release heat, then returns to the water jacket for circulation, achieving temperature regulation. It is an integral part of the car engine.
