The Role of Radiators in Heavy-Duty Industrial Machinery

Heavy-duty industrial machinery is totally reliant on efficient radiators for effective cooling. Learn more about the role of radiators with the knowledgeable team at Applied Radiators.

What do industrial radiators do?

To prevent an engine from overheating and to keep it running smoothly for thousands of kilometres, a robust heavy-duty radiator is essential. While any radiator will do the trick under ideal conditions, only a heavy-duty one will endure through hundreds of thousands of miles of driving in harsh weather.

The process of cooling a heavy-duty engine can be broken down into two distinct phases. There is coolant in the engine, and it is circulated around the moving parts to remove heat. Since the vehicle's engine is constantly creating combustion, it must be cooled to eliminate the surplus heat that isn't being vented to the atmosphere through the exhaust.

The radiator receives the coolant that is pushed from the engine. As the air, assisted by the engine fan, flows across the outside of the radiator, the coolant releases its heat energy. Then, the coolant is recirculated back into the engine block.



Regular maintenance

Preventing expensive malfunctions in industrial equipment requires routine maintenance on radiators. 

Neglected radiators collect dirt, corrosion, and mineral deposits that reduce their ability to dissipate heat. The radiator’s effectiveness will suffer as a result. Maintaining radiators on a regular basis will keep them operating at optimal efficiency, resulting in fewer breakdowns and more time spent productively.

Avoid unexpected breakdowns and reduce the need for expensive repairs by arranging regular maintenance with Applied Radiators.
