Engine cooling radiator for automatic transmission
The engine cooling radiator for automatic transmission differs from the standard engine cooling radiator in that it has a built-in heat exchanger. A heat exchanger is needed to transfer heat from the automatic transmission to the engine coolant.
Heat Exchanger Purposes
*Prevent automatic transmission overheating
*Maintaining optimal operating temperature of the gearbox
* Increased gearbox life
Heat exchanger design
The heat exchanger is usually located inside the engine cooling radiator. It consists of a series of thin tubes through which the automatic transmission fluid circulates. These tubes are surrounded by grooves through which engine coolant flows.
Operating principle
As automatic transmission fluid circulates through the heat exchanger tubes, it transfers heat to engine coolant, which flows through the channels around the tubes. This heat is then dissipated through the engine cooling fins into the environment.
Features of radiators for automatic transmissions
Radiators for automatic transmissions have the following features:
*High Heat Transfer Capacity: The heat exchanger must be large enough to effectively transfer heat from the automatic transmission fluid.
* Durability: The heatsink must be made of durable materials as it is exposed to high temperatures and pressure.
* Corrosion Resistance: Radiator materials must be resistant to corrosion caused by engine coolant and automatic transmission fluid.
Choosing a suitable radiator
When choosing a radiator for an automatic transmission, it is important to consider the following factors:
*Car model and year of manufacture
* Automatic transmission type
* Conditions of use of the vehicle (for example, towing or off-road)
Choosing the right radiator will ensure optimal performance and long service life of your automatic transmission.
