The radiator is a key component of the engine cooling system, ensuring that excess heat is dissipated from the engine. During engine operation, combustion and friction generate a significant amount of heat. The radiator helps to effectively dissipate this heat via the coolant and airflow.
The heated coolant is routed from the engine to the cooling unit, where it flows through fine cooling channels and fins. The heat is then dissipated into the surrounding air by the airflow generated by driving or by the electric radiator fan. The cooled coolant then flows back into the engine, creating a continuous cooling cycle.
Modern vehicle radiators are usually made of aluminum with plastic side panels, as these materials offer good thermal conductivity at a low weight. A damaged or clogged radiator can lead to insufficient cooling, coolant loss, or engine overheating.
At Autoteile Gossau, you'll find radiators in original equipment and high-quality aftermarket versions for numerous vehicle makes and models. Benefit from the lowest prices in Switzerland, fast delivery, or pick up your order directly from our store in Gossau and pay conveniently by cash or card.
