A radiator is a type of heat exchanger. It is designed to transfer heat from the hot coolant that flows through it to the air blown through it by the fan. Most modern cars use aluminum radiators. These radiators are made by brazing thin aluminum fins to flattened aluminum tubes.
Without radiator coolant, an auto engine would overheat extremely fast, leading to mechanical breakdown and engine failure. While oil may be the lifeblood of a carâs engine, coolant is like the water that helps to dispel heat. In fact, coolant mixes with water in a carâs radiator. It prevents the water from freezing and boiling given the extreme temperatures it is exposed to.
