Term · Industrial and trades · MLC-T-IND-004654
A heat exchanger designed to transfer thermal energy from a hot fluid to the surrounding air. It consists of a core with many small tubes and fins that maximize the surface area for heat dissipation. Radiators are commonly used in internal combustion engines to cool the circulating coolant and prevent overheating.
