No. The radiator should never be hot enough to start cloth or paper on fire. It would have to be over 400 degrees F, which would be dangerous to the people in the place. It would also make the room to hot too be comfortable in. It is enough constant heat to boil softeners out of plastic over time, so keep that in mind.
There are many advantages one might receive from using a double radiator rather than a single radiator. The most common advantage is that of better heat conductivity.
Two pie over 60 Radian per Minute.
Your radiator is your cooling system in your car so your car would over heat if you don't get that fixed soon and if it's a radiator at a house you would have no heat because that's a heater for your house
because it is wood not metal ,metal gets heated really fast but wood nahh
Low coolant, inoperative radiator fans, stuck thermostat, failed water pump, restricted radiator, head/headgasket.
Engine overheated. Possible causes are: Thermostat stuck closed. Low of coolant. Defective radiator cap. Clogged radiator. Defective Water Pump.
it has a cracked head The above answer would be an extreme condition to cause this problem. Usually a car overheats because of either low coolant level or a stuck or bad thermostat.
Sounds like you need to flush the radiator and replace the thermostat
You'd have no heat or air and radiator would boil over causing vehicle damage.
There can be several reasons for a boil over condition. 1. low or insuffecient coolant. Anti-freeze protects from boil over too. If the level of coolant is low or does not have enough "antifreeze" in the mixture, the boiling point is lowered. 2. thermostat is not opening or not opening enough. A thermostat must be installed, however. If the thermostat is not installed the coolant circulates so fast that the radiator does not have time to remove the heat and boil over results. 3. insufficient coolant flow. Blockage from thermostat, debris in the radiator or a condition called electrolisis. This is the hard white scaley stuff that you may see inside the radiator that is the result of the coolant flowing over the different types of materials in your cooling system. Regular flushing and renewing coolant is the best prevention of this. A professional flushing or replacement of radiator may be required to fix. 4. Head gasket or cracked head. This would be a major engine mechanical failure and would require removal of cylinder heads for close inspection. Other gasket failures could also contribute to overheating by allowing air into the cooling system, thereby lowering the boiling point.
I had this problem ....Head Gasket or radiator cap
Common causes include low coolant, inoperative radiator fan, radiator restriction.
A plastic radiator will crack under extreme over heat conditions for example a defective thermostat or bad cylinder head gasket will cause a cooling system to over pressurise and rupture.
Make sure the radiator fan is working. Your thermostat is broken.
It might be clogged, thus not allowing enough flow It means that the excess coolant is going where it is supposed to. The coolant expands when hot and goes to the over flow reservoir.
Radiator hoses are made of rubber and over time these units fail due to the environment. When they fail the rubber can get dry rotted which will cause the lines to flatten and crack.
