What is the function of the engine radiator?
1 Answers
The engine radiator is a key component in the automobile cooling system, serving 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, thereby regulating the temperature. Dissipating excess and unnecessary heat: The cooling system of the automobile radiator can disperse excess and unnecessary heat from the engine, ensuring that the engine operates at normal temperatures under various speeds or driving conditions. Preventing cooling system pipe bursts: The automobile radiator is a heat exchanger for water-cooled engines, maintaining the engine's normal operating temperature through air convection cooling. If the engine coolant in the radiator boils and vaporizes due to high temperature, causing the pressure to exceed the set value, the radiator cap releases the pressure by overflowing, reducing the coolant volume and preventing the cooling system pipes from bursting.
