The Radiator is an important piece of the car’s coolant system and keeps the car from overheating. A car engine functions through a series of moving parts, creating a great deal of friction which means there is excess heat energy, not to mention the heat from fuel burned in the engine.

Your car’s radiator and cooling system needs to be clean to be cool. As time goes on, your car’s radiator builds solid deposits that can clog the cooling system. A quick, inexpensive radiator flush can keep the system in shape.

A well-maintained cooling system is key to keeping your car running newer, stronger and longer. The engine’s moving parts create friction when driving. This generates heat which your car’s cooling system mitigates when it pumps coolant (water and antifreeze) through the engine chambers to absorb excess heat.

An auto radiator removes excess heat, so coolant can keep circulating to keep temperatures at safe levels. This protects an engine from damage.

While the radiator itself has no electronic parts, a thermostat near the engine gauges the engine temperature and when it starts to get too hot, allows the radiator to push coolant through the engine chambers. The coolant conducts the heat away from the engine and travels from the engine through the upper radiator hose into the radiator.

There are a couple of things you can do to ensure that your radiator lasts as long as possible. The first is to make sure that the radiator always has the proper level of coolant. When the radiator overheats coolant escapes. Coolant can also be lost through leaks. Without enough coolant, the liquid will boil over, causing damage not only to the radiator but also the engine. It is especially important to maintain the right amount of coolant during hot weather and long trips, as both of these make the car more prone to overheat.

If your car overheats on the road consult your manual for instructions. NEVER open the radiator cap while the engine is hot! Serious injury could result if you do. If you notice your car is consistently low on coolant, it is likely you have a leak, perhaps in the radiator or one of the hoses.
