What Causes Water Backflow in Diesel Engine Radiators?
1 Answers
Water backflow in diesel engine radiators may be caused by high temperatures or blockage in the radiator coolant passages. Below is relevant information about diesel engine radiators: 1. Primary Function: Coolant flows inside the radiator core while air passes outside it. The hot coolant cools down by transferring heat to the air, while the cold air warms up by absorbing heat from the coolant - making the radiator a heat exchanger. 2. Installation Methods: Radiators can be installed in three configurations: same-side inlet/outlet, opposite-side inlet/outlet, or bottom-inlet/bottom-outlet. Regardless of the method, the number of pipe fittings should be minimized as more fittings not only increase costs but also potential failure points.
