What is exchange heat?
A Heat Exchanger is a device which is used to transfer heat from one medium to other. A common example is the radiator in an automobile, which transfers the heat from the liquid engine coolant to the air pulled through the radiator by the fan.
What is a radiator?
A device on a water cooled engine for storing and cooling the liquid coolant. It contains a series of pipes or tubes that are used to transfer heat from a incoming fluid within the radiator to an area outside the radiator. Air flows through the radiator and removes heat from the coolant before it is pumped back into the engine. This cycle continues as long as the engine is running.An engine-cooling device in a motor vehicle or aircraft consisting of a bank of thin tubes in which circulating fluid is cooled by the surrounding air.
Where is the radiator cap located on the 1990 Jeep Cherokee How do you add coolant with only uncapping the overflow and no radiator cap?
I believe the 1990 year still had the sealed system. So there is no rad cap. You can add fluid by pourig it into the overflow bottle with the vehicle running the coolant will be sucked into the system. No radiator cap exist in the 90, 91 model. You add the coolant to the coolant container (The coolant container cap is the equivalent of the radiator cap, (pressure device))and the palstic container is under pressure all the time. Be carefull when you want to open it after the car has been running. After those year models, Jeep discontinued the use of the pressure container and went back to tha radiator cap and remove the pressure coolant container.
What device cools a cars engine?
Hi,The main device that cools a cars engine is the radiator, however to state that is not exactly true. Car engines run hot, and this is to increase the efficiency of the engine. The thermostat in the engine, and the temperature probe in the radiator are all set to keep the engine at a predetermined factory set temperature. The cooling fan behind the radiator will only work when the temperature of the engine goes over the predetermined temperature, to bring it back down. Notice the word temperature not cool in the explanation. Like the human body temperature is monitored.------There's some inaccuracies in the above answer. The radiator does not directly cool a car's engine - it cools the coolant which passes through it.The whole cooling system is the "device" you're referring to. That would be the water pump, radiator, hoses, and thermostat. When the thermostat reaches a predetermined temperature, it opens up and allows coolant to flow through the motor. The most basic law of thermal dynamics is that heat always flows to a cooler object. Thus, the heat from the engine flows to the coolant in a heat exchange. The heated coolant then is cycled to the radiator, where another heat exchange takes place - this time, the heat from the coolant transfers to the air which is passing through the radiator. This is why it's important to keep air flow to the radiator (as well as the air conditioning condenser) unobstructed.Additionally, the airflow over the motor created by the engine fan also creates a heat exchange, where heat from the engine is transferred to the cooler air flowing over the engine.
Where is coolant level sensor on 1998 Pontiac grand prix?
1" Square device with electric plug attached left side of radiator. Replacement is about $50.00
Where is sensor located in recovery tank?
Coolant is fluid that flows through a device in a vehicle to prevent overheating, The coolant level sensor is located on the bottom side of the coolant recovery tank.
What is the device that connects the fan to the radiator?
The radiator shroud.
Does the heater have anything to do with a blown head gasket on a 1998 Oldsmobile Silhouette?
The heater generates heat by blowing air over a small radiator type device (heater core) under your dashboard. The device runs hot coolant through it continuously. If you have a blown head gasket, your coolant is being evaporated trough the firing chambers and tailpipe. When the coolant level is low due to evaporation, there is no water to flow through the heater core. Keep in mind if you are not certain that this is a blown head gasket, these models were notorious for a defective lower manifold gasket leak that caused it to lose coolant the same way a head gasket would.
What is Ford Falcon futura au red fan warning lights?
it is low coolant level in what is called coolant header unit under bonnet of the car. In a nutshell its a plastic container looking device with a radiator cap on it. Do not open whilst hot. .
A heat engine is a device that converts heat energy into mechanical energy?
A Heat Exchanger is a device which is used to transfer heat from one medium to other. A common example is the radiator in an automobile, which transfers the heat from the liquid engine coolant to the air pulled through the radiator by the fan.
What is the purpose of a heater matrix in a car?
heater core is a radiator-like device used in heating the cabin of a vehicle. Hot coolant from the vehicle's engine is passed through a winding tube of the core, a heat exchanger between coolant and cabin air. Fins attached to the core tubes serve to increase surface for heat transfer to air that is forced past them, by a fan, thereby heating the passenger compartment.
What does a car thermostat do?
The thermostat is a device which blocks the flow of coolant through the radiator until the coolant inside the engine reaches a certain temperature, at which point the thermostat gradually opens to allow enough coolant though to maintain the engine at its optimum operating temperature. The thermostat then controls the flow of coolant to keep the engine at that temperature irrespective of engine load and operating conditions. Without a thermostat and engine warms up more slowly and will never reach its optimum temperature. This causes increased fuel consumption and increased wear on the moving parts.
