car radiator
Automotive heat exchanger
A car radiator is a heat exchanger that cools an engine by circulating coolant through thin metal fins, where airflow dissipates the heat.
The radiator sits at the front of the vehicle to catch moving air.
The car overheated because the radiator was leaking.
Radiator problems—leaks, clogs, or fan failures—are common causes of engine overheating.
