What is the Meaning & Definition of radiator

Radiator very contrary to what many may think isn't exactly one of those friends that "the ugliest girls of bowling stick" when we go out dancing... Non, non. It is much more than that... Radiator is an essential part in the complex system of cooling of a vehicle. Driven by the crankshaft pulley makes it turn a fan which makes to pass the air flow through the radiator which is basically a deposit formed by different "slices" through which circulates the water that has, obviously, as primary function cooling the engine. Looks like a class for beginners, but is not others say that to make it work properly first thing you need to do is open the CAP which has (usually) on one side at the top through which the water that does its job in the device is added. The radiator has two connections with the rest of the engine block, one of these communications (hose in reality) is to send water and the other is to receive it. These hoses are usually rubber and subject through clamps. There are three variants of radiators (see second image of the note), namely: - heating elements - radiators of water - radiators of honeycomb systems used for ventilation can also be three: - by Thermo - siphon pump - sealed circuit in addition to understand how to operate the radiator also is useful to have on hand some important data for proper operation and (ultimately) of the vehicle. Is desirable that water does not reach the right temperature (75 ° / 90 °) not to circulate cold water from the radiator to the block, why is located between them called thermostat that ultimately avoids passing water when you do not have the indicated temperature. The thermostat is a kind of spiral or a metal Bellows activated (by opening or closing a valve) to regulate the circulation of the refrigerant.
