Jeep Genuine Mopar Radiators

Every vehicle uses an active cooling system that helps the engine operate at an optimal temperature to ensure a smooth run. Radiators form part of a car’s cooling system which work with pumps, thermostats, and gaskets to regulate temperature. Prevent your engine from overheating and shop for top-quality radiators at JeepsAreUs.

Disperse Engine Heat with Top-Quality Radiators

A car radiator is a heat exchanger that lowers the temperature of coolant in an engine. It is made up of narrow tubes designed to disperse engine heat rapidly. That way, it helps the engine maintain the correct operating temperature so a vehicle can run smoothly. Radiators make up the central part of a vehicle’s cooling system. Located at the front of the engine, they receive a constant airflow. Moreover, they receive a continuous flow of coolant which passes through the engine to keep moving parts at the right temperature. 

A radiator works by making sure that hot coolant enters and cool antifreeze leaves the engine. With help from a centrifugal pump, the coolant passes through the radiator at an adequate speed to maximize flow rate.

Frequently Asked Questions: Radiators

What causes a radiator to crack?

Your radiator can have dents and cracks due to the following factors:

• Exposure to erratic temperatures

• Road debris

• Collisions

• Damages from your radiator fan

• Dirty coolant

• Excess pressure in your cooling system

How do I fix a radiator leak?

You will first have to spot where the leak is coming from. If you can’t locate it, you can use a pressure tester on your cooling system. Once you spot the leak, you can use the following materials and methods for closing the leak:

• Coolant system sealant

• Eggs

• Epoxy glue

• Welding or soldering the radiator

It’s also advisable to have your vehicle checked by a mechanic to see other issues your radiator might have.

How does a radiator affect car performance?

Car radiators draw cool air from the front of the car with a cooling fan. The cool air quickens the cooling of your coolant before it circulates back into your engine. This accelerated cooling then prevents engine overheating and ensures proper and optimal performance at all times.

What makes a radiator go bad?

The internal passageways of your radiator can collect a layer of scale. This will make the tubes smaller, which reduces the coolant that travels into the radiator. The metal particles and other debris accumulated in your coolant can also block the radiator tubes, causing your radiator to function poorly.

Does a cooler engine run better?

Since radiators are in charge of cooling your engine, it also has implications regarding engine performance and functionality. Being able to cool various engine components quicker will help keep your car running longer and faster. It also maintains the structural integrity of various engine components by cooling them properly.
