What is Radiator? How does a radiator work in an engine?
Friends, today we'll learn about a part that is primarily utilised in the automotive industry.
You must be familiar with the radiator; it's typically found in small automobiles and large trucks.
Do you know that radiators may also be used for heating? Radiators are typically used to keep engines cool.
You must now be wondering how the radiator functions as a heating source. How does cooling an engine work?
Thus, let's comprehend -
What is Radiator?
In order to transfer thermal energy from one medium to another for the purposes of cooling and heating, radiators are a type of heat exchanger.
For IC engines and other hot engines, radiators are typically employed.
Main parts of radiator:
Tubes
Filler Cap
Fin
Header Tank
How does a radiator work in an engine?
In order to cool the hot engine, coolant must first pass through the engine block, where it absorbs engine heat before continuing to the radiator's input tank.
From there, it is dispersed across the parallel tubes of the radiator as a whole, where each tube includes a fin that allows the coolant's heat to escape into the surrounding air.
in order for the coolant to cool. The process then continues when the coolant returns to the engine block, keeping the engine from overheating.
Glycol and other chemicals are typically put into the coolant, which is typically water-based, to stop corrosion.
How to use radiator for heating?
In mountainous and cold places, radiators are typically used for space heating. To do this, hot water or steam is pushed into the radiator.
Because of this, people in an open setting can transfer the heat of hot water or steam to one another.
Radiator Application
In the engine of the ship
In nuclear power reactor
In Automotive Industries
In computers
In space heating etc.
