Each time you get in your vehicle to zip around a town, there’s a team of parts working together under the hood to ensure the drive is safe and sound. One of those key components is the radiator, which essentially keeps the engine from overheating. For more than three decades, car and truck owners have turned to Branford Radiator Repair Service, an auto shop in Connecticut, for professional and affordable repairs to maintain this important cooling system.

To have a better understanding of how the radiator works, it starts with a quick explanation of functions. A combination of fuel and friction gives the car what it needs to accelerate and go. In the process, parts need to heat up for the necessary momentum. However, there are cooling systems within the engine that are activated to prevent a complete shutdown should overheating occur.

If the level goes too high, a trigger mechanism alerts the radiator to release coolant and water to bring the temperature back down to a cooler stage. The radiator also contains a fan as additional support to cool the engine down. Essentially, the vehicle can maintain a temperature balance to keep the engine and other parts working to preventing overheating.

Where problems can occur with the radiator is through a damaged or clogged thermostat, leaks that drain the much-needed coolant, and other culprits. It’s very dicey to drive around with a faulty radiator because the driver runs the risk of permanent damage to the engine and other components.
