Radiator Information
The radiator is a device used to disperse the heat which the coolant has absorbed from the engine. It contains a vertical- or horizontal-finned tubing section connected between two tanks. Radiators are designed to hold a large amount of water in tubes or passages which give a large area in contact with the atmosphere. Water, mixed with antifreeze or coolant, passes through the engine and is circulated by the water pump via a radiator hose to the radiator. The outside air that passes through the car's grille cools that water which then returns to the engines by means of another hose.
In case your car radiator overheats, here are some pointers for dealing with it. First, turn off the A/C because it will reduce the engine temperature. The A/C evaporator is situated in front of the radiator, and it adds to the air going to your engine. Then, turn on your heater. Set it on highest temperature setting, with blower on highest setting. This will cool the engine by transferring the heat to the air. In case you are stuck in traffic, pull over and stop. Open the hood of your car and let the engine cool off. Check the overflow tank coolant level. If it's empty, then the radiator is probably low on coolant. Check also the pressure of the system by wrapping a cloth around the upper radiator and squeezing it.
It is essential that you check up on your radiator from time to time. A leaking radiator may cost you your engine in the long run. A radiator should always be filled with water. You may add coolant or anti freeze to it depending on the weather situation. An overheated engine will make its life shorter; you might do irreparable damage to it and cost you loads of money. So every time you use your car it would be wise to fill it up with water, check it out first if it needs some. Also check your instruments all the time so you may know if you are driving an overheated engine.

AC Condenser Information
Has your car's air conditioning system failed again? You may not feel the effect of it in winter or during the colder periods of the year, but comes summer, you'll feel rather hot, sticky and wretched inside your car. So if your car's air conditioner is not working properly, you better give it a check now and determine which parts need to be prelaced.
One the indispensable parts that must keep working on your auto AC is the A/C condenser. You can easily locate this part if you'll look under the hood of your car. The condenser is usually located in front of the radiator unless there have been a redesign in your car's engine area. One must not mistake it, however, with the radiator as the two look closely similar.
The A/C condenser does much of the same job for your automobile air conditioning system as the radiator does for the engine cooling system. While radiators keep the water circulating through the engine cool, condensers keeps the refrigerant that is flowing through your car's air conditioning system cool.
The condenser radiates the heat of the refrigerant, which is at most times a Freon gas, which was passed to it by the AC compressor, cools it and turns it into liquid form. The engine fan would usually aid in the cooling of the refrigerant, although an additional condenser fan would still be needed for front-wheel drive cars. The liquid refrigerant would still be warm but not as hot as the gas in the compressor. An expansion valve would further transform the liquid refrigerant into cold, gaseous form so that it could once again absorb the warm air inside your vehicle.
The A/C condenser is essential for the ventilation of your car's interior, especially during hot summer days. So if the AC condenser of your car failed, you better buy a new one and install it in your car.
