How to clean your auto radiators?

In summer, the automotive air conditioners are more frequently used than other seasons. Many owners complain that the refrigeration effect is not good, and some speculate that it is because of the lack of Freon. Actually, there are many reasons why your air conditioners cannot refrigerate. A simple way is to clean the entire cooling system including the auto radiators. If the auto radiators are too dirty, it will reduce the refrigerate effect of air conditioner, and some old cars may have the problem of high temperature water. So it is suggested to clean the auto radiators yourself.
How to clean auto radiators?
Auto radiator is installed in the outer field inside the vehicle's grille, and some are exposed directly. So those dirty stuff entering into the grille is very easy to be attached to the auto radiators. Especially in Spring and Autumn, the debris such as catkin and leaf in the air are easy to enter the grille, and additionally some mud, dust, floats in the air would crash in to the radiator too. If those dirty stuff can't be cleaned up timely, they will plug up the ventilation holes, and then it will reduce the refrigerate effect. Following are the specific process explaining how to clean the radiator.
1. Strip the grille
Cleaning auto radiators is not difficult, and the operation is very easy. The first step is to seperate the front grill. Because of the different design on each model, some vehicles can only show a small part of the radiator after tearing down grille, so it costs more time to clean such kind of radiators relatively.
2. Clean the radiator with air pump
If there are big stuffs such as branches and leaves stuck inside the radiator, just clear it with your hand firstly, and then you can clean the radiatro with air pump.
Try to celan it from the inside, and in this way those dust and debris can be blown away directly. Of course every car's internal structure will be different, some cars don't have enough space for the pump, and you can only clean the aluminum radiator from the outgoing instead. Sometimes the radiators may look not so dirty on the surface, but inside the radiator has piled up a lot of dirt. Use the air pump to exhaust them out, and this process can be repeated multiple times.
3. Water scrubbing (it is not suggested)
Generally water scrubbing is not suggested, on the one hand, cleaning the radiator with air pump is enough, and on the other hand, the squirt gun will cause great water pressure, which may broke the cooling fin easily.
Radiator cleaning is very simple, but many owners tend to ignore or don't know this item also need to be cleaned. I hope owners can get into the habit of checking and cleaning the radiators regularly after reading this article.

The sort and maintenance of racing radiators

Auto radiators can be divided into water-cooling and air-cooling. Air-cooled radiators achieve the heat dissipation effect depending on air circulation. So its cylinders are designed as dense sheet structure to increase heat radiating area, and meet the radiating demand. Compared with water-cooling auto radiators, air-cooling radiators have advantages of light weight and easy maintenance. Water-cooling radiators work by cooling the coolant of high temperature, and the water pump makes coolant circulating around the complete radiating system.

When the vehicle runs, dust, leaf and rubbish are easily to be attached to the surface of radiators and block the radiator vanes, which may influence the performance of radiators. In this case, we need to clean it with brush, and blow the dust away with high pressure pump. Auto radiators are inner components of heat conduction and heat transfer, and it plays an important role in vehicle performance. Auto radiators are mostly made of aluminum and copper. In materials, metal is not corrosion-resistant, so bot aluminum racing radiators and copper radiators should be protected from corrosive solution. For auto radiators, blocking is very common. To avoid this situation, we need to inject soft water inside, and then inject hard water inside radiators, to avoid incrustation scale. When it gets cold in winter, radiators are liable to frost damage, so it is need to be injected with anti freezing solution to prevent water from freezing. In daily use, check the water level at any time. When you add water to the auto radiators, keep yourself far away from radiator filter as much as possible, to avoid to be hurt by the high temperature oil.
