The function and test method of motorcycle radiator




First, the role of motorcycle radiator


The main function of motorcycle radiator  is to transfer the heat generated during the operation of the engine  to the air to prevent the engine  from overheating. 12


The working principle of motorcycle radiators is based on heat exchange , that is, the heat generated by the motorcycle engine is transferred to the air through the heat sink or heat pipe, thus preventing the engine from overheating. These fins or tubes increase the surface area of the radiator and improve the efficiency of heat dissipation. Making a radiator requires the use of materials such as aluminum  or copper , as well as basic tools such as saws, drills, and welding torches.


The water cooling system of motorcycle  is mainly composed of water pump , radiator, auxiliary water tank , etc. The radiator, also known as the main water tank, its main function is to transfer the heat generated during the operation of the engine. During the coolant cycle, when the coolant in the main tank becomes more and more due to pressure, it will enter the secondary tank through the reserved pipe. Therefore, sometimes the liquid level in the secondary tank will be higher when the engine is hot, and less when the engine is cold.


Also, the design and performance of the motorcycle radiator fan is key. A good radiator fan will not only protect the normal operation of the engine, but also improve the driving experience and sense of security. It should not only meet the demand of cooling, but also consider noise, thermal comfort and other factors.


There are many methods to detect motorcycle radiators. The commonly used methods include: observe whether there is corrosion, damage or blockage on the surface of the radiator; Check whether the coolant is clean and whether too much or too little is added; Use special testing tools for testing, etc.


Two, used for motorcycle radiator detection tool introduction


1. A thermometer


Thermometer is a necessary tool to detect the temperature of the motorcycle radiator, usually using a pointer thermometer or electronic thermometer, it can accurately measure the temperature of the coolant in the motorcycle radiator. When the motorcycle has been running for a period of time, the actual temperature of the radiator can be obtained by using a thermometer. If the temperature is too high or too low, it indicates that there is a fault in the radiator.


2. Pressure gauge


Pressure gauge is an important tool to detect the pressure of motorcycle radiator. It can measure whether the pressure of vehicle cooling system is normal. In use, it is necessary to connect the pressure gauge to the pressure vent of the radiator, then start the motorcycle and wait for the coolant to flow, and detect whether the coolant pressure in the radiator reaches the normal standard to determine whether the radiator is running normally.


3. Water pump


The water pump is one of the important components in the cooling system. It can provide coolant for the radiator and promote the smooth flow of coolant to achieve effective cooling of the engine. When detecting the radiator, the pump can be checked for abnormal damage or flow problems. If the problem is found, replace or repair it in time to avoid greater losses.


4. Nike Bubble Water Test Solution


Nike bubble water test solution is a commonly used radiator testing tool, it can quickly detect whether there is water leakage problem in the radiator. When in use, pour the test liquid into the radiator, start the motorcycle, observe whether there are bubbles in the test liquid, if there are bubbles, it indicates that there is a problem of water leakage in the radiator, repair and replace in time.


The above is the introduction of common tools for motorcycle radiator detection. Through the use of these tools, radiator faults can be found in time, problems can be solved in time, and the normal use of motorcycles can be guaranteed.
