Car or truck- summer yes,,,,winter no, increases it.
House- yes and no, depends on the MFG of the cover.Check the specs for each MFG.
Radiator Covers can actually increase efficiency, as they can be designed to push the air forward instead of straight up. This improves air flow around the room, prevents the air from just sitting under the ceiling, and lowers the amount of heat the wall absorbs.True
No. made it cost more. :(
Apply lean manufacturing methods to reduce stock, waste and improve efficiency, implement quality improvement program to reduce failure/reject levels (Six Sigma), use Rapid Prototyping to reduce development time, undertake an energy efficiency audit to reduce associated overheads
because u can compress it,
Reduce the friction of it and the ramp, for example, mounting it on wheels.

Yes, copper cored radiators with copper tanks should be painted, but the core area should only be painted lightly (only just covering) , as painting heavily will reduce heat transfer. Modern aluminum cross- flow radiators with plastic tanks are not painted.
A radiator shroud is a protective covering that surrounds the radiator in a vehicle. It helps direct airflow through the radiator to improve cooling efficiency and prevent overheating. Additionally, it can help reduce noise and improve the overall appearance of the engine bay.
Reduce the throttle setting - ease up on the gas. Improve the efficiency of the radiator. Get a bigger radiator, fit an Electric fan, make sure the water pump is working OK. Flush the radiator. Fit water injection to the Engine. Fit an oil cooler.
There are several causes that will reduce the water level in your car radiator. The most common cause is evaporation. Engine overheating will also reduce the radiator water level.
A towel radiator is designed to heat towels while also heating the bathroom. It provides a convenient place to hang towels, keeping them warm and dry for immediate use after bathing. These radiators can also help reduce moisture and humidity in the bathroom, preventing mold and mildew growth.
Either improve efficiency or reduce quality
Windows are in most situations the least insulated element of a room and therefore are the most common location for thermal bridging to occur. By placing a heat source in front of windows convection air flows insulate the internal room from radiant cooling from the window. Radiators in front of windows are in the most effective and energy efficient position in these situations.
Foil reflects heat back into the room because it has a low emissivity, which reduces the amount of heat that is emitted through the walls. This creates a barrier and prevents heat from being absorbed by the wall behind the radiator, increasing the efficiency of the radiator in heating the room.
Low coolant level, clogged heater core, thermostat stuck open. Additionally that model had different size radiators available the larger the capacity the more difficult to heat up. You may also try covering a portion of the radiator/front grill, this will reduce the airflow across the radiator and will assist the heat retention. If you don't wish to go thew expense of a grill cover use a piece of cardboard between the grill and the radiator secure it in at least two points.
greasing a surface helps reduce friction
