Where is the Van's Radiator Located?
1 Answers
The van's radiator is located at the front of the vehicle. The radiator must be placed at the front to ensure proper ventilation and heat dissipation. Vehicles use water-cooled engines, which rely on coolant circulating continuously within the engine to carry away heat. The coolant also needs to dissipate heat, and this is the function of the radiator. The coolant follows two circulation paths within the engine: one is the major circulation, and the other is the minor circulation. When the engine has just started and has not yet reached its normal operating temperature, the coolant undergoes minor circulation within the engine, allowing the engine to warm up quickly. Once the engine reaches its normal operating temperature, the coolant begins major circulation. During major circulation, the coolant passes through the radiator, ensuring that the coolant temperature remains within a reasonable range.
