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.
