What Does Your Car Radiator Do? Turbo charger application???

The principle behind the internal combustion engine is that a mix of fuel and air is ignited inside the cylinders and by compressing and expanding this mix, extremely powerful forces are resulted, forces that are converted to the car's wheels, moving the car forward.

The bigger the compression is, the larger will be the engine's power output. And this is what everybody wants, more power from the engine, more speed and better handling. If you choose to install a turbo charger, you will increase the engine's power significantly.

But all these methods of increasing the car's power output have a series of downsides and an incredible amount of heat is the most important one. Heat is the number one enemy of mechanical components and even if car engine's is designed to handle these incredible high temperatures, if these levels get out of control, the engine will definitely break.

Car engineers tried to find answers to removing this heat from the engine and their outcome was the water-cooled radiator. The car's cooling system is one of the car's most important elements and keeping it in perfect condition is the key behind a reliable car. It is the radiator's job to remove the heat from the engine and it should work at maximum efficiency even in extreme conditions. The car's engine can quickly overheat if there is any problem with the car's cooling system and this peril is especially higher in very slow moving traffic or during hot, summer days.
The radiator is a large matrix of small pipes, and when the coolant passes through the cooling cores of the radiator, it cools down, eliminating the heat it has accumulated from the engine. The conclusion is the bigger the radiator, the large amount of heat it can remove from the engine...turbo forever.
