The engine temperature can be significantly higher than the radiator temperature due to the engine's combustion process, which generates heat from fuel burning. The radiator, on the other hand, is designed to dissipate this heat through coolant circulation and air exposure, keeping it cooler. Additionally, heat transfer losses occur as coolant moves from the engine to the radiator, resulting in a temperature difference. This difference is essential for efficient engine operation and cooling.

Why is the top radiator hose hotter than the lower Is it normal for the top hose to be two to three times hotter?

The coolant comes from the engine at it's hottest through the top radiator hose, cooling as it goes lower and lower in the radiator until it comes out the bottom radiator hose at it's coolest temperature and back into the engine.


What is the normal operating temperature range for a 1996 dodge ram 1500 5.2liter engine?

190 degrees tops. A bad radiator cap ( 16 lbs) can cause engine to run 10 to 20 degrees hotter. Also a thermostat not opening when its supposed to. Mine was running at 210 to 230. Six dollar radiator cap and nine for a t-stat fixed it.

Do you use coolant or distilled water in a car radiator?

You can use almost any liquid in a radiator, but water is not the best choice. Water boils at 100 degrees (and your engine gets way hotter than that), also it freezes at zero degrees and in many places it gets colder than that.Engine Coolent is an additive that you add to water or replace the water in a radiator. Coolant raises the boiling temperature and lowers the freezing temperature so that your radiator will work in the widest possible circumstances.


What is hotter 100f or100c?

100 degrees Celsius is hotter. 100 degrees Celsius is mad temperature for weather and it is the temperature that the water boils.
