Aircraft & Automobile Radiators
Radiators are commonly used for cars and aircrafts. However, there are other uses of radiators such as radiators used for buildings which are normally used as a heating device. Radiator used by automobiles and airplanes have been around since automobiles and aircrafts are introduced. Radiators are used to shift thermal energy from a source to a medium which is usually done for cooling or heating purposes.
 
A car radiator (Pictures taken from http://www.autoguide.net)
During the 1970’s radiators made some radical changes. With the oil crisis looming in the horizon, car manufacturers started looking for ways to reduce weights of their cars to minimize oil consumption. One of the affected components was the radiator where the materials were changed from brass to aluminium because it is less expensive, light weight and can handle heat quite well. However, they have discovered a downside of the aluminium radiator which is the higher cost it would entail to repair when compares to brass radiators.
Faced with this problem, research has been made in the use of copper or brass in radiators to make it more efficient to use. In the early 1990’s, radiator manufacturers were able to find a solution to their problem. They have now the technology to develop lighter, durable and stronger brass and copper radiators such as electro-phoretic coating, laser welding and no flux brazing.

Here are some facts about radiators according to http://www.radiators.com:
    
1)    Several reasons why overheating occurs and why.
•    Inadequate amount of coolant in the system
•    Erroneous temperature gauge
•    Defective water pump
•    Inadequate pressure
•    Radiator grille is dirty
•    Blocked radiator core
•    Defective or improperly adjusted drive belt
•    Faulty thermostat
•    Inadequately functioning fan
•    Wrong ignition timing
•    Erroneous grade of engine oil

2)    Two reasons why overcooling happens
•    Defective thermostat
•    Temperature gauges are not accurate

3) Reasons External coolant leakage occurs
•    Deteriorated hoses or loosed clamps at the hose connections
•    Faulty water pump seals
•    Leakage from the radiator core or header tank
•    Engine drain plugs are leaking
•    Leaking from damaged gaskets or small cracks
•    Broken head gasket

4) Reasons why internal coolant leakage happens
•    Cylinder head gasket is leaking
•    Cylinder head or bore are cracked
•    Cylinder head bolts are loose.

5) Causes of corrosion
•    The water you are using has too many impurities. Distilled water, rain water or soft waters are recommended for use.
•    Corrosion can also be caused by not maintaining regular flushing of your cooling system and radiator. Maintenance is usually done once every two years.
