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. The coolant or in this case the Transmission Fluid flows from the inlet to the outlet through many tubes mounted in a parallel arrangement. The fins conduct the heat from the tubes and transfer it to the air flowing through the radiator. The tubes sometimes have a type of fin inserted into them called a turbulator, which increases the turbulence of the fluid flowing through the tubes. If the fluid flowed very smoothly through the tubes, only the fluid actually touching the tubes would be cooled directly. The amount of heat transferred to the tubes from the fluid running through them depends on the difference in temperature between the tube and the fluid touching it. So if the fluid that is in contact with the tube cools down quickly, less heat will be transferred. By creating turbulence inside the tube, all of the fluid mixes together, keeping the temperature of the fluid touching the tubes up so that more heat can be extracted, and all of the fluid inside the tube is used effectively. Hope This Helps.
The automatic transmission oil cooler is built into the radiator. If the oil cooler developes a leak the oil mixes with the engine coolant.
Exchanger
Yes, it does.
So the torque converter and oil cooler are full.
hi, blown head gasket, cracked head or block or automatic transmission oil cooler in radiator leaking
Some vehicle have either a transmission oil cooler or a power steering oil cooler in that location.Some vehicle have either a transmission oil cooler or a power steering oil cooler in that location.
The heated transmission oil flows through the cooler, and that heat is exchanged to the ambient air which flows through the fins of the cooler. The rapidly cooled fluid returns to the transmission.
No, No absolutely not. Automatic transmission fluid is not the same thing as gearbox oil.
transmission oil cooler
A 1992 Honda Accord does not have an Engine oil cooler. It can have a transmission oil cooler, which is built into the radiator.
The front fitting on the transmission is the hot pressured oil going to the oil cooler, the rear one is the return.
No, the only models that came with a trans oil cooler built into the radiator where the automatic ones.
