Radiators

Radiators , as the name suggests, are devices that radiate heat. These heat-exchanging devices can be found in automobiles, buildings, and electronics. This device is designed to transfer heat from the water that flows through it, to the air blown through it by the fan. Once the fins are heated, they release heat into the air, cooling the engine. The radiator has a neck that ends in a cap. The liquid coolant, usually a mixture of water and ethylene glycol, is added through this cap. The cap, known as the "pressure cap", keeps the pressure under control. Once a predetermined level of pressure is reached, the cap gives way, releasing the pressure to prevent any sort of explosion. The flow of the liquid coolant determines the actual cooling capacity of the radiator. In some models, the tubes have a type of fin inserted into them, known as a turbulator. This increases the turbulence of the fluid and in the process, increasing the cooling capacity of the radiator. A radiator must ...
