A car radiator is an integral part of the cooling system of a car. Its primary role is to keep the engine from overheating by transferring heat away from the engine and circulating coolant throughout the system. It works by transferring heat from the hot coolant to the air that passes through the radiator. The radiator is made up of a series of small tubes which allow the coolant to pass through and be cooled by the air. The coolant is then circulated back to the engine block to absorb more heat and the cycle repeats itself. The radiator is also responsible for regulating the temperature of the engine and ensuring that it stays within a safe operating range.
