A radiator cools the coolant by transferring heat from the hot coolant to the air outside the vehicle. As the hot coolant flows through the radiator's tubes, it releases heat to the metal fins surrounding these tubes. The airflow, generated either by the vehicle's movement or by a fan, carries away the heat from the fins, allowing the coolant to cool down before it circulates back to the engine. This process ensures that the engine maintains an optimal operating temperature.

After draining, close the plug, refill the radiator with fresh coolant, and check for any leaks. Always dispose of the old coolant properly, as it is toxic.
Why do radiators have grooves?
That is for the air can flow through the radiator and cool the engine coolant down.
Where does cool water go after it leaves a radiator?
The coolant leaves the radiator by way of the lower radiator hose then enters the water pump in most automotive engines.
What is the purpose of a water pump in an automobile?
To pump coolant around the engine to absorb heat, and through the radiator to cool the coolant down again
How do you change the coolant ina a Honda helix motor scooter?
To change the coolant in a Honda Helix motor scooter, first ensure the engine is cool and then locate the coolant reservoir and radiator. Open the radiator cap and drain the old coolant by removing the drain plug at the bottom of the radiator. Once drained, close the drain plug, refill the radiator with the appropriate type of coolant, and replace the radiator cap. Finally, run the engine for a few minutes to circulate the new coolant and check for leaks.
