Any of various devices for cooling an internal substance by radiation, as a system og rings on a gun barrel for cooling it, or a nest of tubes with large radiating surface for cooling circulating water, as in an automobile
A device necessary for water cooled engines to cool down the water It is a gray flat box, which is usually located on the other side of the driver than the engine itself
First of all, we need to understand how the water in your engine gets hot... the engine has lining the cylinders what is called water jackets Water flows through these jackets conducting the heat that emanates from the combustion chambers The water is then circulated through the radiator, which consists of "tubes" that are surrounded by "fins" that directs air over the tubes The air that is directed by the fins over the radiator's tubes (through which the hot water flows) cools the water flowing through the tubes This cools the water in your engine
That which radiates or emits rays, whether of light or heat; especially, that part of a heating apparatus from which the heat is radiated or diffused; as, a steam radiator
The part of your cooling system that gets rid of the engine heat Coolant from the engine flows past the thermostat and into the radiator where it is cooled by air passing through the fins Internal corrosion and hairline cracks caused by vibration are the two primary causes of radiator leaks "Stop leak" can be dumped into the radiator to temporarily plug small leaks but larger ones usually require professional repair or replacement "Recoring" a radiator means replacing the heat exchanger section between the end tanks
a mechanism consisting of a metal honeycomb through which hot fluids circulate; heat is transferred from the fluid through the honeycomb to the airstream that is created either by the motion of the vehicle or by a fan
A room heat delivery (or exchanger) component of a hydronic (hot water or steam) heating system; hot water or steam is delivered to it by natural convection or by a pump from a boiler
Hot coolant, under pressure, travels from the engine to the radiator Outside air, passing through the radiator, lowers the temperature of the coolant before sending it back through the engine in a continuous heat removing process
