radiator
Cast iron warmer
A radiator is a device that transfers heat from one medium to another.
In buildings, radiators are heating units—typically metal fixtures filled with hot water or steam that warm a room by releasing heat into the air.
In vehicles, the radiator is part of the cooling system, dispersing engine heat through a network of fins and tubes: The car overheated because the radiator was leaking.
