What is the structure of an automobile radiator?
1 Answers
Automobile radiator structure consists of an inlet pipe, outlet pipe, and thermostat, with the thermostat located at the head of the inlet pipe. Below is relevant information about automobile radiators: 1. Definition: Automobile radiator generally refers to the heat exchanger. The radiator is part of the vehicle's cooling system, where the engine's liquid cooling system radiator is composed of three parts: the inlet chamber, outlet chamber, main plate, and radiator core. The coolant flows inside the radiator core, while air passes outside the radiator. The hot coolant cools down by dissipating heat to the air, and the cold air warms up by absorbing the heat from the coolant. 2. Classification: There are mainly two types of automobile radiators: aluminum and copper. The former is used in general passenger vehicles, while the latter is used in large commercial vehicles. The materials and manufacturing technologies of automobile radiators have developed rapidly. Aluminum radiators, with their significant advantages in material lightweighting, are gradually replacing copper radiators in the passenger and light vehicle sectors. Meanwhile, copper radiator manufacturing technology and processes have seen substantial advancements, with copper brazed radiators showing clear advantages in engine cooling for buses, construction machinery, and heavy-duty trucks.
