RADIATOR TANK COVER

• RADIATOR TANK COVER - 

What is radiator  ?

´  A radiator is a type of heat exchanger. It is designed to transfer heat from the hot coolant that flows through it to the air blown through it by the fan. 

´  Most modern cars use aluminium radiators. These radiators are made by brazing thin aluminium fins to flattened aluminium tubes.

´  Radiators are mainly used in automobiles but also in piston engine aircraft, railway locomotives, motorcycles and stationary generating plants.

Functionality -

´  The radiator is responsible for preventing the  engine from overheating. When the engine is in use, it produces a lot of friction and heat, and the radiator uses coolants to keep the engine running at a healthy temperature

´  The radiator is the main part of the car's cooling system, and its primary function is to ensure exactly the right temperature for the car's engine to operate at maximum potential. 

Materials –

´  The radiator cover are made from plasti and crimped to the radiator core

´  The radiator cover also made up of fiber loaded thermoset polymer ,it may be BAKE-O-LITE

´  Nylon 66 plastic with 25% Reinforced Glassfiber are widely used in manufacturing of radiator covers.

Manufacturing process –

´  Most of the Nylon 66 radiator cover parts are manufactured by Injection moulding method.

´  Injection moulding is a manufacturing process for producing parts by injecting material into a mold.

´  In Injection moulding machine, material for the part is fed into a heated barrel, mixed, and forced into a mould cavity, where it cools, hardens and takes the shape of the cavity.
