The Radiator

When the fuel/air mixture is ignited in the cylinders, the temperature inside the engine can reach thousands of degrees Fahrenheit. It takes only half that heat to melt iron, and your engine would be a useless lump of metal in about 20 minutes. if your vehicle couldn’t keep things cool. Naturally, the liquid (coolant and water) that circulates around the cylinders in the engine block gets very hot, and so it’s continually circulated back to the radiator, where it cools off before heading back to the scene of action.

The radiator is designed to cool the liquid quickly by passing it over a large cooling surface. The liquid enters the radiator through the top radiator hose, which is usually connected to (you guessed it) the top of the radiator. As the liquid descends, it runs through channels in the radiator, which are cooled by air rushing  in through cooling fins between the channels. When the liquid has cooled, it leaves the radiator through the bottom radiator hose. This hose has a spring inside it to prevent it from collapsing when the water pump draws coolant from the radiator.

Additional hoses

There are also smaller diameter hoses also leading from your engine to the heater core. Some vehicles have small bypass hose near the thermostat as well. These hoses are an important part of the cooling system, as they are designed to carry the liquid in it from one component to another.
