What are the parts of a radiator?
Understanding the Parts of Your Radiator
- Radiator Core Tubes. Your radiator’s core is the part that allows it to fulfill its purpose: providing your coolant with a way to shed its heat into the environment.
- Cooling Fins.
- Plastic Header Tanks.
- Inlet and Outlet Plumbing.
Can a car run without a radiator?

- Single Panel Radiators. Single ‘panels’ (think of them as ‘hot water containers’ instead) are your basic radiator.
- Double Panel Radiators. Double panel radiators are two single panels stacked against each other (for roughly twice the power) and mounted to your wall.

What is the function of the radiator cores?

How do you know if your radiator is bad?
Here are four signs your radiator is bad or failing:

What method is used to unclog a heater core?
Insert an airline or water hose into the outlet hose. If not, you can use a garden hose for the same purposes. Place the airline or hose in the outlet hose from the heater core. You will need to use a water hose to flush the system either way, but compressed air may move harder to break blockages.
What causes a clogged heater core?
Heater cores don’t normally clog up on their own. It’s usually caused by an outside force. If you run straight water in your cooling system or your cooling system is full of scale and rust, your heater core can clog up. While the engine is cool, remove the radiator cap and inspect the coolant.
