Where is the radiator located?

[DelElle]

The radiator is located behind the air conditioning condenser. When you open the engine compartment, you can only see the upper cover of the radiator. To clearly see the position of the radiator, you need to remove the front bumper assembly. The car radiator, also known as the heat exchanger, is a key component in the vehicle's cooling system. Its primary 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 complete the cycle, thereby regulating the temperature. The radiator is a crucial part of water-cooled engines, serving as an essential component in the engine's cooling circuit. It absorbs heat from the engine block to prevent overheating. Due to water's high specific heat capacity, its temperature does not rise significantly after absorbing heat from the engine block. Thus, the engine's heat is transferred through the liquid coolant circuit, using water as the heat transfer medium. The heat is then dissipated through large-area cooling fins via convection to maintain the engine's optimal operating temperature.
