A car radiator is a device that helps to cool down the engine in your car. It does this by circulating coolant (a water and antifreeze mixture) around the engine and allowing it to pass through the radiator.
The radiator is made up of a number of metal fins that help increase the surface area the coolant can come into contact. This increased surface area allows more heat to be released from the coolant, which helps cool down the engine.
How the Radiator Works
The radiator works by circulating a liquid (antifreeze) through the engine. The antifreeze picks up heat from the engine and carries it to the radiator.
The radiator is made up of a bunch of metal tubes. Hot air passing over these tubes causes the liquid inside the tubes to evaporate. This vaporization removes heat from the antifreeze, which causes it to cool down. The coolant is pumped back through the engine, which picks up more heat and repeatedly starts the process.
Common Problems With Car Radiators
One of the most common problems with car radiators is that they can develop leaks. Radiator leaks can be caused by various factors, including corrosion, physical damage, or manufacturing defects. In some cases, a simple repair may be all that is necessary to fix the problem. However, in other cases, the radiator may need to be replaced entirely.

How to Tell If Your Radiator Needs to Be Replaced
One of the most common is when you start to experience problems with your heating system, for example, if your home is not getting as warm as it used to.
Another sign is if you notice a decrease in the pressure of your radiator's water circulation. Finally, if you see any leaks from the radiator, it's time for a replacement.
