What is a transmission radiator?




The structure and working principle of the transmission radiator.

The transmission radiator mainly consists of the radiator core for cooling, the upper water chamber and the lower water chamber for storing coolant. The radiator core is the core part of the radiator, composed of heat dissipation tubes, heat dissipation fins (or heat dissipation tapes), upper and lower main plates, etc. It has a sufficient heat dissipation area and can dissipate heat from the transmission fluid to the surrounding environment. Radiators are usually made of aluminium because aluminium has excellent thermal conductivity ‌.

The types and installation positions of the transmission radiator.

There are various types of transmission radiators, including air-cooled and water-cooled ones. Air-cooled radiators dissipate heat by utilizing the natural airflow generated during vehicle operation or the forced airflow produced by cooling fans. Water-cooled radiator uses coolant to absorb heat from the transmission fluid, which then flows into the engine radiator for further heat dissipation ‌2. The radiator is usually installed behind the front grille, in a concealed position ‌. Maintenance and care suggestions for the transmission radiator. To ensure the normal operation of the transmission radiator, it is recommended to regularly check the quantity and quality of the coolant to ensure that there is no leakage or deterioration of the coolant. In addition, maintain the normal driving state of the vehicle, avoid long-term low-speed driving or frequent parking to reduce the risk of transmission overheating. Regular replacement of transmission fluid and coolant is also important for keeping the radiator efficient ‌.
