What Is The Purpose of A Radiator?

If you know a thing or two about cars and/or industrial machinery, chances are you know what a radiator fan is and why it is so necessary. A crucial part of a mechanical engine, the radiator is responsible for keeping the engine from overheating. The application of radiators is slightly different depending on the vehicle in question. Let’s have a look at how they work in cars and tractors.

How Radiators Work

As discussed, the radiator is responsible for keeping the engine at the appropriate temperature. This occurs by the use of a liquid or coolant that is pumped around the engine. Put in simple terms, through the use of the fan, the radiator is able to pump and transfer the heat of the liquid outside, which essentially cools the liquid. The cool liquid, being pumped around the engine, effectively cools the engine down itself.

Interestingly, there is a greater energy loss in a tractor engine compared to that of a car. In fact, the most efficient engines will use only 35%-40% of the total energy created to power the tractor itself, the rest will essentially be lost. A poorly functioning radiator can lead to more energy loss than this, so it’s a good idea to keep the radiator in good working order. For that reason a cooling system is a must for optimal performance.

How to Replace a Radiator in Your Car

Mazda hearing noise when going over speed bumps or jump.

Answer: issue with brake click. My mechanic said my car's wheel does not have brake click, that is why it is making noise when the car jumps or bounces. He installed brake click and now it is much better and quieter. But still there is a slight sound.

He recommends changing to original brake clicks.
