Description:
Automobile water tank, also known as radiator, is the main component of automobile cooling system; its function is to dissipate heat. The cooling water absorbs heat in the water jacket, flows to the radiator and dissipates the heat, and then returns to the water jacket to circulate continuously. So as to achieve the effect of heat dissipation and temperature adjustment. It is also an important part of a car engine.

How to Disconnecting the Radiator?
Step 1
Remove the upper and lower radiator hose and the hose to the reservoir. This will require you to loosen the hose clamps. You do this by using a hose clamp remover or a pair of channel locks to squeeze the ends of the hose clamp together. Once the ends are together, the clamp should be loose enough to slide up the radiator hose, allowing you to remove the hose from the radiator.
Step 2
Disconnect the transmission line. In some cars, there may be a transmission fluid cooler built into the radiator. If there are metal lines running to the radiator from the transmission, they will need to be removed using a wrench. There should be two lines. Also, be careful to catch the transmission fluid that leaks when you disconnect these lines.
Step 3
Remove all electrical wiring harness connections. Locate and disconnect the fan motor electrical connector. This is usually the only electrical connection, but double check to make sure.
Step 4
Disconnect the air conditioner condenser. The air conditioner condenser is often connected to the radiator. To remove the radiator, you will need to remove the condenser mounting bolts with a wrench. This allows the condenser to stay in the engine bay and keeps the refrigerant system closed
Step 5
Remove the bolts from the mounting brackets. Look at how your radiator is attached to your car. Usually there are braces bolted to the frame on top, and the bottom rests on rubber feet within an indentation.
Step 6
Remove the radiator from the car. There should be no hoses, electrical connectors, and it should have sufficient clearance to be removed. If not, study the layout and think before disassembling anything else. Some other components may need to be removed like a top engine mount or the battery tray, but usually the radiator is held in only by the mounting brackets.
Step 7
Disassemble the radiator. Once the radiator is out, you will need to look for any parts that need to be transferred over to the new radiator. This might include the fan shroud assembly, brackets, or other parts. Remove any such parts before recycling the radiator.
How to Installing the New Radiator?
Step 1
Connect all parts to the radiator. Any parts that were removed from the old radiator, such as brackets, fan shroud, etc., need to be installed on the new radiator before it goes into the car.
Step 2
Insert the radiator into the car. It will simply lower (or raise) into the same space that you took the old radiator out of. This part is fairly easy, but be cautious. If you bend the fins of the radiator you will need to straighten them out with a radiator comb to ensure proper airflow and cooling.
Step 3
Connect the mounting brackets. Lower or fit the radiator into the support track. Align the radiator with any mounting tabs, including any rubber mouldings between the radiator and the support rack. Tighten the mounting bracket bolts to secure the radiator in the engine bay.
Step 4
Secure the air conditioning condensor. Use the same condenser mounting bolts that your removed from the old radiator. Align the condenser so that the bolts fit into the radiator and screw them in with a wrench or ratchet.
Step 5
Plug in any wiring harnesses. This will restore power to your electric fan (if your car has an electric fan). If there are any other electrical components with your radiator, this will restore power to them as well.
Step 6
Connect the transmission coolant lines. This will ensure that your transmission keeps cool, and that transmission fluid isn’t leaked. Be sure not to cross thread these fittings, as that might result in a poor seal and leaking transmission fluid. Tighten with a wrench.
It is likely that there will be gaskets that fit between these lines and the radiator. Be sure that the gasket did not get left on your old radiator.
Step 7
Connect the upper and lower radiator hoses and the hose to the reservoir. This will complete your cooling system and allow coolant to flow into and out of your radiator. Slide the hoses onto their respective fittings at the top and bottom of the radiator. Then use a pair of channel locks to move the hose clamps up into place. This holds the hoses to the radiator snuggly.
How to Clean the Radiator?
1. Open and secure the engine cover firmly to avoid accidental sliding. Then, use a nylon brush and soapy water to gently wipe the dead insects and debris collected on the water tank grille.
2. Be sure to scrub in the direction of the water tank fins, do not scrub in the opposite direction, because the metal is fragile and easy to bend and deform. After cleaning the grille, draw a gentle stream of water from the hose above the grille to ensure that all debris has been completely removed.
Function:
The function of the cooling system is to radiate excess and useless heat from the engine, so that the engine can maintain normal temperature operation at various speeds or driving conditions.
Notes:
When the water temperature of the engine is high, the water pump circulates repeatedly to reduce the temperature of the engine (the water tank is composed of hollow copper pipes. The high-temperature water enters the water tank and circulates to the cylinder wall of the engine after being air-cooled) To achieve the purpose of protecting the engine, if the water temperature is too low in winter, the water circulation will be stopped at this time to avoid the engine temperature from being too low.
