the thermostat
No, water does not flow through the fins in a car radiator. The fins are there to dissipate heat from the coolant circulating through the radiator tubes. Air passing over the fins helps cool down the hot coolant flowing through the tubes.
If there is no thermostat in the radiator, the coolant can flow too quickly through the system and fail to properly regulate the temperature. This can cause the coolant to boil over and be expelled from the radiator. Installing a thermostat can help control the flow of coolant and prevent overheating.
Without a thermostat, the coolant continuously circulates through the radiator hoses, causing them to heat up and expand. This can make the hoses feel very firm due to the increased pressure from the heated coolant. The thermostat helps regulate the flow of coolant to maintain a consistent temperature in the engine.
To drain a radiator without a drain plug, you can disconnect the lower radiator hose to allow the coolant to flow out. Make sure to catch the coolant in a container for proper disposal. Be cautious of hot coolant and allow the radiator to cool down before attempting this.
The pressure in the upper radiator hose is created by the water pump circulating coolant through the engine and radiator. This pressure helps to maintain proper flow of coolant to regulate engine temperature and prevent overheating. It also allows the coolant to absorb heat efficiently from the engine.
The thermostat.
Air flow through radiator restricted with debris. Coolant flow through inside of radiator restricted with debris. Low on coolant. Faulty thermostat. Coolant fans inop.
No, water does not flow through the fins in a car radiator. The fins are there to dissipate heat from the coolant circulating through the radiator tubes. Air passing over the fins helps cool down the hot coolant flowing through the tubes.
Could be, Restricted air flow through outside of radiator, Restricted coolant flow through inside of radiator, Faulty fan clutch, Missing or broken radiator fan shroud, Faulty thermostat, Low on coolant,
That is for the air can flow through the radiator and cool the engine coolant down.
The thermostat on a 1997 Mazda MPV is located on top of the engine, under the upper radiator hose. It controls the flow of coolant through the vehicle.
Low on coolant. Cooling fans are not operating. Faulty thermostat. Air flow through radiator is restricted. Coolant flow through inside of radiator is restricted. Bad head gasket.
When the thermostat is open the coolant will flow through the top radiator hose in to the radiator and out to the water pump through the bottom radiator hose
It goes in through the lower radiator hose, and out through the upper.
The thermostat on a Peuget 206 is located on top of the engine, under the upper radiator hose. It controls the flow of coolant out of the engine.
The radiator drain plug should be located on the bottom of the radiator on the passenger side. Open that, let the old coolant flow into a drain pan, replace the drain plug once the coolant is out and the radiator is flushed, then fill it up through the radiator cap.
No , the engine coolant will start flowing through the radiator when the engine coolant thermostat starts to open ( assuming everything is working properly ) Helpfull
