What Happens If the Radiator Is Broken?
1 Answers
The radiator being broken can cause the engine to overheat, affecting its normal operation. The car radiator, also known as the heat exchanger, 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 where the heat is dissipated, and then returns to the water jacket to circulate, achieving temperature regulation. Maintenance methods for the radiator include: 1. Avoid contact with any acidic, alkaline, or other corrosive substances; 2. Use softened hard water to prevent internal blockage and scale formation; 3. During installation, avoid damaging the cooling fins or the radiator to ensure its heat dissipation capability and sealing performance.
