The radiator of a van is positioned at the front of the vehicle. Placing the radiator at the front allows it to utilize incoming airflow for cooling. Here are some additional details: 1. Automobiles use water-cooled engines, which rely on coolant circulating continuously within the engine to dissipate heat. The coolant itself also needs cooling, which is the function of the radiator. Radiators are always installed at the front of the vehicle so they can utilize incoming airflow to cool the coolant. 2. The coolant follows two circulation paths within the engine: a major circulation loop and a minor circulation loop. When the engine has just started and hasn't reached normal operating temperature, the coolant circulates in the minor loop to allow the engine to warm up quickly. During minor circulation, the coolant doesn't pass through the radiator. Once the engine reaches normal operating temperature, the coolant begins major circulation. During major circulation, the coolant flows through the radiator, enabling it to maintain a stable temperature within a reasonable range.

Should a Slowly Leaking Tire Be Repaired?

It is not recommended to immediately repair a slowly leaking tire. Frequent repairs and repeated disassembly and assembly can cause damage to the vehicle's rims and tires. The following are situations where it is not advisable to restore the tire to normal working condition through repair: 1. Large-area scratches or damage on the sidewall. 2. A 'penetrating' hole or puncture in the tread with a diameter exceeding 5mm is not recommended for repair. 3. If the entire bead (inner tire ring) is damaged or deformed, the tread is twisted, deformed, corroded by chemicals, or the tire has been 'rolled over' while underinflated, it is not recommended to restore it through 'repair'; instead, replacing the tire is advised. 4. In cases of severe damage, exposed steel belts, severe delamination, bubbling, etc., the above repair methods are not recommended, and replacing the tire is the better option.

What to Do When the Car Air Conditioner Emits Odors in Heating Mode?

The main reasons for odors when using the heater are external exhaust fumes, accumulated smells inside the car, placed air fresheners, as well as human sweat and body odor, which can enter the car's interior. When the air conditioner is used, these odors encounter the warm and moist surface of the evaporator, blending with the air, and are then released when the air conditioner is in operation. Methods to eliminate odors include: 1. High-temperature drying of the evaporator. 2. Minimize the use of acidic car air fresheners. 3. Use cleaning agents to sterilize the external circulation air ducts. 4. Reduce sources of odors inside the car as much as possible. 5. Alternate between primary and spare filters.
