A car radiator is a part used to cool the vehicle engine. The radiator is a heat exchanger used to cool the hot antifreeze or water passing through the vehicle engine. The radiator is generally made of materials that conduct heat well, such as aluminum or brass. It contains a series of thin pipes or fins. These pipes or fins form a structure through which the engine’s coolant passes and transfers the heat to the outside. The radiator absorbs the excess heat generated during the operation of the vehicle engine and transfers this heat to the outside. As it passes through the engine block, it heats up and comes to the radiator. The pipes or fins in the radiator absorb the heat as it passes over the cooling liquid and transfers this heat to the outside of the radiator. In this way, overheating of the engine is prevented and the engine operates efficiently.
Examine the Damage Assessment:
Before starting, it is necessary to observe the radiator. First, it is necessary to examine the pipes leading to the radiator for leaks and cracks. Check for scratches on the bottom, top and edges of the radiator.
Drain the Coolant:
Before the radiator is repaired, we need to drain the antifreeze in the radiator. You can drain it into a container using the cap at the bottom of the radiator.
Repairing the Radiator:
Clean the removed Radiator from all sides, inside and outside, this will improve the function of the Radiator. Clean the interior with spray or radiator cleaning soaps, and complete the cleaning process on the exterior with a cleaning solution or brush.
If there is a hole in the Radiator:
If there is a hole in the radiator, it must be taken to a repairman because the repairman must regularly repair that hole and make it usable in the old way.
Radiator Installation:
After the radiator cleaning and maintenance is completed, you can install it in the car. Tighten the connection points and clamps. After installation, you can add antifreeze or coolant.
Proceed to the Exam Phase:
After radiator cleaning and maintenance is complete, start your vehicle and check if the cooling is working. Check pipes and leaks, don’t forget to look for heating problems
