Radiator.
The radiator belongs to the automobile cooling system, and the radiator in the engine water cooling system is composed of three parts: inlet chamber, outlet chamber, main plate and radiator core.
The coolant flows inside the radiator core, and the air passes outside the radiator core. The hot coolant cools because it dissipates heat to the air, and the cold air heats up because it absorbs the heat emitted by the coolant, so the radiator is a heat exchanger.
The radiator is divided into three installation methods, such as the same side in, the same side out, the different side in, the different side out, the lower into the lower out, no matter which method, we should minimize the number of pipe fittings, the more pipe fittings, not only the cost increases, the hidden danger will increase.
There are two main types of car radiators: aluminum and copper, the former for general passenger cars, the latter for large commercial vehicles.
The hose of the engine radiator will be aging for a long time to use, easy to break, water is easy to enter the radiator, the hose is broken in the process of driving, the high temperature water splashing out will form a large group of water vapor from under the engine cover, when this phenomenon occurs, you should immediately choose a safe place to stop, and then take emergency measures to solve. Under normal circumstances, when the radiator is flooded, the joint of the hose is most likely to have a crack and water leakage, then you can use scissors to cut off the damaged part, and then the hose is re-inserted into the radiator inlet joint, and the clamp or wire clamp. If the leak is in the middle of the hose, wrap the leak with tape. Clean the hose before wrapping. After the leak is dry, wrap the tape around the leak of the hose. If you do not have tape on hand, you can also wrap plastic paper around the tear first, and then cut the old cloth into strips and wrap it around the hose. Sometimes the hose crack is large, and it may still leak after entanglement, then the tank cover can be opened to reduce the pressure in the waterway and reduce leakage. After taking the above measures, the engine speed can not be too fast, to try to hang high-grade driving, driving also pay attention to the pointer position of the water temperature meter, found that the water temperature is too high to stop cooling or add cooling water.
How to add water to the car water tank
The method of adding water to the car water tank is as follows:
Preparation: Make sure the vehicle has cooled, open the hood, and locate the water tank. If water is added for the first time or has not been checked for a long time, it is recommended to conduct a comprehensive inspection to ensure that there are no leaks or other problems.
Adding water steps:
Open the tank lid. Some models may require the use of special tools or tricks to open the lid.
Add appropriate amount of water or antifreeze. Antifreeze is recommended because it not only prevents the liquid from freezing, but also from boiling. If using tap water, be aware that it may freeze in cold weather.
Observe the water level of the tank to ensure that the appropriate level is added. Don't overdo it to avoid spilling.
After adding water, close the tank lid and make sure the lid is tightly closed.
Note:
Do not open the tank cover when the engine is hot to avoid burns.
Check the water level of the tank regularly to make sure it is within the proper range. It is generally recommended to check once every period of driving or each maintenance.
If tap water is used, it should be replaced regularly to prevent internal corrosion caused by long-term use.
With the above steps, you can properly fill your car tank with water. Remember to exercise caution when handling, especially when handling hot engine parts.
