3. RADIATOR
1. The Radiator is the flat tube type with the core
and water tanks combined in one Integral Unit.
It is enclosed within a Grille and fan housing which
are removable for cleaning.
Radiator cap is a pressure cap and is fitted on
the filler neck. The pressure cap has the following
functions
a) Pressures the System thus raising the boiling point
of the Coolant.
b) To prevent the water vaporization of the Coolant.
c) The Cap releases excess pressure via the overflow
tube in the filler neck when the pressure rises
beyond the specified (13 PSI) pressure.
The pressure inside the Radiator is always
maintained within close limits of the Valve
specified on the Cap.
d) The Cap also has a vacuum release valve which
relieves vacuum created when the engine is cools
and coolant temperature drop. The Valve opens
and equalises the System Pressure with
atmosphere via, overflow tube of the filler neck
(see fig 1B).
NOTE: If the Radiator Cap is defective i.e. Rubber Seals
and Valve Springs broken, replace it:
