Acura Integra radiator

Radiator is performing one of the most important tasks in your car: to cool the engine once it has reached its operating temperature. The radiator's ability to do this task directly affects the life and the longevity of your car's engine. Overheating usually direct you to numerous maintenance problems, which can either be mild or severe. And what's worse? A malfunctioning radiator can cause total engine meltdown regardless of the weather condition outside.

Radiators do their job by transferring the heat generated in the process of combustion to coolant by flowing through the tubes. This heat is dispersed by the radiator and being fed back into the system by the use of the water pump. With this procedure, the car's heating and cooling system basically recycles the energy that it creates.

Car radiators disperse heat better if there are more coolants that get in touch with the radiator's aluminum tube. For this reason, most radiators incorporate components called "turbulators" which help shake up the flowing coolant. Through this, there is an assurance that the distribution through the tube is uniform.
