As coolant cycles through the engine, it absorbs heat from the engine, after which, it continues through the cooling system back to the radiator. As the coolant passes through the radiator, the heat is exchanged to the ambient air by way of airflow through the radiator fins (this is why it's important not to bend the radiator fins).
No. Coolant only runs through your radiator into the engine and back again. Your condencer is part of your A/C system.
coolant draining back into resivoir or possible air pocket
Generally the pump moves the coolant through the block, up into the back of the head(s), through the head(s), out the thermostat into the top of the radiator, through the radiator, out the bottom or side of the radiator and back to the pump.
When the engine heats up to a certain temperature, the thermostat opens up and lets the coolant flow through the engine. Heat from the engine is absorbed by the coolant, which then cycles back to the radiator. Heat from the coolant is exchanged to the air which flows through the radiator fins, thus causing the coolant to rapidly cool down.
A car's radiator is used to help keep the engine cool. During operation, an engine's moving parts create friction, which produces heat. Coolant flows through the engine picking up that head and travels back to the radiator where it is cooled down by air flowing through the radiator coils. The cool coolant then travels back through the engine completing the cycle over and over.
No. When the engine is running coolant is heated and expands. Excess coolant then flows from the radiator to the expansion (overflow) tank. When the engine is shut down coolant cools and contracts drawing fluid back out of the tank to keep the radiator topped off.
coolant pumps pump the liquad throw the engine and back into the Radiator
Radiator-- for storing and removing heat from the coolant. Pump-- used to circulate coolant throughout the engine and back to the radiator for cooling. Fan, either electric or mechanical -- used to draw air through the radiator thus removing heat. Thermostat--Used to keep the coolant at a set temperature. Radiator pressure cap--Used to keep the pressure at a set amount in the system. Hoses uses to transfer coolant from the radiator to the engine and back. Recovery tank--Used to catch any coolant that may overflow.
The coolant pump draws coolant from the radiator and circulates the coolant through coolant jackets in the engine cylinder block and the cylinder heads. The coolant is then directed back to the radiator. The system directs some coolant through hoses to the heater core in order to provide for defrost and passenger compartment heat. A surge tank connects to the cooling system. Pressurized coolant continuously flows through the surge tank and the process repeats
Once the thermostat has opened, the hot coolant flows from the thermostat housing on the engine into the top of radiator and out the bottom of the radiator back into the water pump.
Low on coolant? defective sensor should be located on back side of radiator approx. 1/3 down from top
