6. Prinsip Operasi
The Denso DRM44008 Radiator functions as a heat exchanger within the engine's closed-loop cooling system. Hot coolant from the engine flows into the radiator's inlet tank, then through a series of thin tubes (core) to the outlet tank. As the coolant passes through these tubes, air flowing over the radiator fins (aided by the vehicle's movement and/or cooling fan) absorbs heat from the coolant, cooling it down. The cooled coolant then returns to the engine to absorb more heat, completing the cycle. This continuous process ensures the engine operates within its optimal temperature range, preventing damage from overheating.
7. Penyelenggaraan
Regular maintenance of your vehicle's cooling system, including the radiator, is essential for its longevity and efficient operation. Consider the following maintenance practices:
- Pemeriksaan Tahap Penyejuk: Periodically check the coolant level in the reservoir and top up with the correct type of coolant as needed. Never open a hot radiator cap.
- Keadaan Penyejuk: Have the coolant checked for contamination or degradation during routine service. Flush and replace coolant according to your vehicle manufacturer's recommendations.
- Radiator Inspection: Visually inspect the radiator fins for blockages (e.g., leaves, debris, insects) or damage. Gently clean fins with a soft brush or low-pressure air/water if necessary.
- Hos dan Clamp Semak: Inspect radiator hoses for cracks, swelling, or leaks. Ensure all hose clamps adalah ketat dan selamat.
- Pengesanan Kebocoran: Be vigilant for any signs of coolant leaks under the vehicle or around the radiator and hose connections.
8. Penyelesaian masalah
If you experience issues with your vehicle's cooling system, the radiator may be a contributing factor. Here are some common symptoms and potential causes:
| simptom | Punca Potensi | Tindakan |
|---|---|---|
| Enjin Terlalu Panas | Low coolant level, clogged radiator fins, internal radiator blockage, faulty cooling fan, thermostat issue. | Check coolant level, inspect radiator for debris, ensure cooling fan operates. Professional diagnosis recommended. |
| Kebocoran Penyejuk | Damaged radiator, loose hose clamps, cracked hoses, faulty water pump. | Visually inspect radiator and hoses for leaks. Tighten clamps. Replace damaged components. |
