What is the function of an engine radiator?

[Logan]

The function of an engine radiator is to protect the car from damage and maintain the engine within an appropriate temperature range. The radiator is part of the vehicle's cooling system. In an engine water-cooling system, the radiator consists of an inlet chamber, outlet chamber, main plate, and radiator core. It uses water as a heat-carrying medium to transfer heat and dissipates it through convection via large-area cooling fins, ensuring the engine operates at an optimal temperature. The cleaning method for an engine radiator is as follows: 1. Remove the bumper to locate the radiator; 2. Adjust the water nozzle to a spray pattern and set the pressure to an appropriate level, then rinse the radiator surface; 3. Check if the cooling fins are damaged; 4. Reinstall the bumper in the reverse order of removal.
