radiators
Cast iron heaters
Radiators are devices that transfer heat from one medium to another.
The most common type is a home heating unit—a metal fixture, often ribbed or finned, through which hot water or steam circulates to warm a room.
Car radiators work oppositely, dissipating engine heat into the air.
The name comes from radiate—heat radiates outward from the surface.
The old radiator clanked and hissed all night.
