Ensuring that your vehicle's cooling system is working as should means keeping up with radiator maintenance. The radiator plays a pivotal role in regulating the engine temperature. If it malfunctions, you risk substantial engine damage and the potential breakdown of the vehicle.

Applied Radiators put together this blog to share practical tips on radiator maintenance for commercial fleets. These valuable insights can help you to ensure the efficiency and longevity of your fleet’s radiator systems.


Prevent Overheating


Preventing overheating ensures uninterrupted operations. Regularly monitor coolant levels and make sure they meet manufacturer specifications. Address any leaks promptly and flush the radiator system periodically to prevent overheating.


Improve Fuel Efficiency


Optimising fuel efficiency is important for every fleet manager. A well-maintained radiator contributes significantly to this objective. Ensure that the radiator is clean and free from debris, allowing for efficient heat exchange. A cooler engine operates more efficiently, translating to improved fuel economy for your commercial vehicles.


Extend the Life of the Engine


The engine is the heartbeat of any vehicle, and its longevity depends on proper radiator care. Regular radiator maintenance, including checking for corrosion, inspecting hoses, and ensuring proper coolant circulation will extend the life of your fleet's engines. 


Identify Potential Issues 


Early detection of radiator issues helps to prevent major breakdowns. Train your team to recognise warning signs such as coolant leaks, unusual noises, or fluctuations in temperature. Addressing these issues promptly can prevent costly repairs and keep your fleet running.
