Automotive Radiators Online

If it weren't for your radiator, the engine at the heart of your car, SUV, van, or pickup would quickly overheat and then shut down. It prevents that by circulating fluid -- most often a mixture of water and coolant -- through hoses to and from the engine.

How Radiators Work

The radiator sends the fluid to the engine block through an inlet hose. The fluid then circulates through the engine, collecting building heat and keeping the moving parts cooled. Next, the fluid returns through outlet hoses to the radiator, where the heat escapes harmlessly into the atmosphere via the radiator's large, flat, finned surface. Then the fluid can return to the engine to renew the process.
