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 positioned at the front to utilize airflow for cooling. Below is additional information: 1. Vehicles use water-cooled engines, which rely on coolant circulating within the engine to dissipate heat. The coolant also needs to be cooled, and this is the function of the radiator. Radiators are installed at the front of the vehicle so that they can utilize airflow to cool the coolant. 2. The coolant follows two circulation paths within the engine: a major cycle and a minor cycle. When the engine is first started and has not yet reached its normal operating temperature, the coolant circulates in the minor cycle, allowing the engine to warm up quickly. During the minor cycle, the coolant does not pass through the radiator. Once the engine reaches its normal operating temperature, the coolant begins the major cycle. In the major cycle, the coolant flows through the radiator, ensuring that the coolant temperature remains within a reasonable range.
