The location of the radiator in the Kia Sportage: Open the front hood, and the pink liquid tank on the right side of the engine is the radiator for the Kia Sportage. It is positioned in front of the engine and behind the bumper. When adding water to the radiator, be cautious of high temperatures to avoid burns; it is best to refill when the engine is cold. More details are as follows: 1. The car radiator, also known as the heat exchanger, is a key component of the car's cooling system. Its function is to dissipate heat. The coolant absorbs heat in the water jacket, flows to the radiator to release the heat, and then returns to the water jacket to circulate, achieving temperature regulation. It is an integral part of the car engine. 2. The radiator is a crucial component of water-cooled engines, serving as a major part of the cooling circuit. It absorbs heat from the engine block to prevent overheating. Due to water's high specific heat capacity, the temperature rise after absorbing heat from the engine block is relatively small. Thus, the engine's heat is transferred through the coolant circuit, using water as a heat carrier to conduct heat, and then dissipated via large-area cooling fins through convection, maintaining the engine's optimal operating temperature.
