Dissecting the Car's Radiator System

In physics, you learned that any movement results to friction. This principle, of course, applies to your car's engine. The engine has several moving parts and the friction from these parts makes it necessary to pump motor oil into your car's engine to provide much-needed lubrication. Without motor oil, the moving parts that rub against each other will eventually cause them to deteriorate much faster than the normal rate. As you also learned in physics, motion with friction also generates heat, and excess heat cannot be compensated for by motor oil.

To combat excessive heating in your car's engine, it is necessary to have a quality radiator system. This important vehicle component consists of a radiator, radiator top hose and bottom hose, water pump, thermostat, electric cooling fan, and thermo-time switch. Your radiator system gets to work as soon as you put the proper amount of antifreeze and coolant into it, while the water pump distributes the coolant into the system.

Like most car components, your radiator system needs tender loving care too for it to function at an optimum level at all times and to keep you going while on the road. To make sure of this, check your radiator system regularly and always maintain an appropriate level of coolant mixture. If any parts of your radiator system is failing or is close to failing, have it checked and repaired immediately to prevent the problem worsening.
