Your
car radiator is the primary cooling mechanism
for your engine. Parts train's Radiators
are a simple and elegant solution to the
need for engine cooling. Parts train's Radiators
are mostly made of aluminum. Light and strong,
aluminum is great for making radiators.
It is the material of choice for most of
today's radiators. Light and intelligently
designed, aluminum radiators are standard
on many of today's new cars and trucks.
A small leak on your Radiator can be indicating
a larger problem. A cooling system that
runs low too often is less efficient and
you can damage your cooling system by letting
the coolant level get too low. Too little
coolant flow can be bad, but at normal and
high operating temperatures, the rate at
which coolant moves through the radiator
does not change the amount of heat that
is dissipated by the cooling cores. The
amount of cooling will not be reduced even
when the mean temperature of the coolant
rises and flows faster.
Many cheap coolants do not have the corrosion
protection, PH balancing, or sediment prevention
that the top-quality coolants do. These
low quality coolants do not have the same
additives of name brand coolants. To help
your engine stay cooler, rev up your engine
slightly when you are overheating in traffic
to help push more air across the cooling
cores and more coolant through the engine.
All water-cooled radiators have an automatically
controlled electric fan on the radiator.
The way the system is supposed to work is
that, after the engine is started, the thermostat
on the engine stays closed until the coolant
temperature at the ENGINE reaches 87C (189F)
degrees. It is the responsibility of the
Radiator to keep the coolant temperature
from running too high. However, if the temperature
is too high it is not necessarily the radiator.
A poor radiator cap will not last as long
or stay properly calibrated, and either
open at too low or two high a pressure.
Make sure your radiator cap is the proper
one for your cooling system. Higher pressure
means a higher boiling point, which means
more efficient cooling. A new radiator cap
is usually all that is required for this
(but don't over pressurize your radiator
cores and wreck the whole system).
Most Radiators' cooling system failures
arise from poor radiator maintenance. Many
radiator problems can be prevented with
regular maintenance and periodic professional
inspections of you car radiator and cooling
system. The most common radiator problems
are: leaky fittings or seams, fin deterioration
and bond failure, electrolysis, cracked
tank, and fan damage.
