Radiator: Description and Operation

DESCRIPTION







The radiator is a cross-flow type (horizontal tubes) and made of a copper/brass material. It's design features provide greater strength as well as sufficient heat transfer capabilities to keep the engine within the designed operating range.

OPERATION
The radiator functions as a heat exchanger, using air flow across the exterior of the radiator tubes. Heat is then transferred from the coolant and into the air.
