Automobile radiators such as the BMW 330ic radiator are thin metal boxes with a wire mesh cover. A long-winding metal tube coil can be found inside the radiator. This arrangement allows the tube coil to maximize the surface area of the radiator while minimizing the space volume it occupies. This arrangement is very important in the efficient release of heat from the engine coolant. The radiator has an inlet tube and an outlet tube. The inlet tube is directly connected to the engine block via a rubber hose, while the outlet tube is directly connected to the water tank via another rubber hose.
Some radiators have overflow tanks that allow boiling coolant to overflow. These overflows tanks relieve pressure inside the radiator. Sometimes, when the coolant becomes too hot to be handled by the radiator, it boils and overflows. If the coolant is not allowed to overflow, the radiator gaskets and tubes may rupture. On the other hand, if the coolant is allowed to directly overflow from the outlets, other engine parts may be damaged. The coolant may cause corrosion in metal parts and may short-circuit the electrical components of the engine.
The coolant circulation begins from the coolant reservoir or water tank. The coolant reservoir contains most of the coolant supply of the engine. This reservoir is located somewhere in the engine compartment that is isolated from engine heat. A simple centrifugal water pump draws the coolant from the reservoir by creating a partial vacuum state. As a result, the atmospheric pressure forces the coolant out of the reservoir. The coolant then enters the miniature tube labyrinth inside the skin of the engine block. As the coolant circulates, it absorbs the excess heat of the engine to be later dissipated in the radiator.
