What Does a Radiator Do?

What Does a Radiator Do?

The radiator is part of your vehicle’s overall cooling system that helps draw harmful heat away from your car’s engine. To do this, coolant/antifreeze is circulated through the engine block. The coolant absorbs heat from the engine and is circulated through the system by the water pump through hoses to the radiator. The radiator then transfers the heat from the coolant by using a fan that pulls outside air across the radiator fins to cool the coolant. The coolant circulates back to the engine and the cycle begins again.
