What would be an alternative to get heat from the heater fan in a car instead of using the car radiator?
MustangLX
Cars produce a lot of electricity as well, both to charge the battery back up and to run the fan, lights, radio, AC, etc. An in-line electric heater would work well too, especially for electric cars that don't produce the heat that internal combustion cars do. Another reason for this would be for high-end cars that want to produce heat for the interior before the engine is fully heated. A built in ceramic heater (much like a toaster) can do this just fine.

use a run capacito
What is one benefit of using a radiant heater instead of a convection heater?
One benefit of using a radiant heater instead of a convection heater is that they can heat an entire room for a longer period of time without burning out the motor or shutting off.
What is the purpose of an on demand water heater?
Tankless or "demand" water heaters are a useful energy efficient alternative to having a tank water heater. It is a smart alternative because it heats up the water as the sink, shower, or other hot/cold water using device needs it instead of having to fill up the whole hot water tank which saves you a load of money.
Does running your heater in your car use more gas?
No as the heater is run utilizing the fluid from your radiator and an electric fan. Using the air conditioning does as the pump is run from a belt on your engine.
Where is the radiator cap located on a 1999 Ford Taurus?
The 1999 Ford Taurus does not have a radiator cap. Coolant is added by using the over flow bottle instead of a radiator cap.
What is a safe alternative to mineral oil?
You don't say what your using it for. If it is for stool softening try Sesame or Grapeseed oils instead.
What are some disadvantages of using case structures to program multiple alternative decisions?
Using case structures becomes difficult when programming multiple alternative decisions. Instead of listing each of the steps and executing them individually, it is easier to make decision structures and loops.
What is the purpose of the oil hose going from block to radiator and back to another hose to block?
Some vehicles run oil line through the radiator for cooling, instead of using seperate oil cooler, which just looks like a mini radiator.
Where do you find the radiator cap in order to remove it and add radiator sealant on a 1997 Oldsmobile Aurora?
: The overflow cap (radiator cap) is on top of the tank that sits on top of the dr. side fender under the hood.some of the newer cars do not have a "radiator cap" it goes in to the overflow tank . i would not suggest using radiator stop leak because it can clog up the radiator and heater core on the car if you must use it only as a last resort.
What is the function of a space heater?
A space heater is basically used to warm up a finite space. Instead of using a heating unit or a furnace to warm up the entire house, a space heater heats a limited area. The result is a lower cost and more efficiency.
What are the main advantages of using a propane wall heater?
There are many advantages to using a propane wall heater instead of natural gas. Propane lasts longer and doesn't give off any oxidants (fumes). Also propane is around the same price as natural gas.
Engine overheats when heat is turned on and cools when heater is turned off heater has hot air when on no coolant loss mechanic says cooling system is finewhy does it overheat?
Either the radiator is partially plugged and t he system has been designed marginally ( they do that to save money you know ! ) so that when the heater is turned on most of the water gets routed through the heater core, bypassing the radiator and causing overheating, or the system is just designed marginally and as above. You can put your hand on the radiator grille and feel it from the front of the car ( using all due caution, of course ) and see if there are any sudden temperature changes from hot to cold. A cold spot indicates a plugged section. The only solution to this is to replace the radiator. And/or you can also put a restriction in the line feeding the heater core, so that more water will flow through the radiator. If your car has worked well in the past with the heater turned on, then I would suspect a partially plugged radiator. I've changed these myself, and it's not hard. Make sure you don't have any other systems bonded to the radiator for cooling, like power steering, a/c , etc. Good Luck !!
