Best Answer

The radiator helps cool liquids that exits the engine. A tube at the top of the radiator flows the liquid into the radiator. Fans blow air into the radiator and cools this liquid. This liquid is then exited through the bottom of radiator and released back into the engine to be used. Radiator also holds coolant to to speed cooling process of liquid

What are radiators made of and why?

In the early days radiators were made of brass and copper due to the superior heat dissipation the metals provide, they were very heavy and were soldered together. Newer cars have radiators made of aluminum with plastic/composite tanks mostly because it's cheaper and easier to manufacture and also because they are lighter, and the lighter the car is the better MPG and tail pipe emissions they will have.

Is there any car without radiator?

There have been cars without radiators. The old-style Volkswagen "Beetle", for example, had an air-cooled engine. A lot of VW owners modified the trunk (Beetles had the engines in the back, not the front) in order to force more air into the engine compartment, since they were prone to overheating as they aged.... which is one reason you don't see too many cars without radiators.
