About Radiator
Part of the car's cooling system the Smart Smart radiator plays an important role in enabling the car engine to function as efficiently as possible and to perform at its best.
The main function of the cooling system is to keep the engine cool and stop it from overheating. The cooling system also enables the engine to reach the required heat quickly and keeps the engine maintained at this constant heat. This means the engine can reach optimum performance as quickly as possible; a cold car engine does not run properly and can cause damage to the engine. The cooling system does its job by allowing liquid coolant to move through the engine. The liquid absorbs the heat from the engine which in turn cools the engine down. When the liquid leaves the engine it flows into the Smart Smart radiator which then removes the heat from the liquid into the air being blown through the radiator by the fan.
The Smart Smart radiator is usually made of aluminium and consists of a series of internal tubes, which allow the liquid coolant to flow through the radiator. The radiator has little fins on the end, which act as heat conductors, removing the heat from the liquid in the tubes and transferring it to the air that is being pumped through the radiator. The Smart Smart radiator has a pressure valve and two tanks on either side which store any excess liquid coolant before it passes through the outlet hose and returns to the pump.
There are many problems that can arise with your car's cooling system. Radiator specific faults can occur, such as a radiator leak or leaky fittings. If the Smart Smart radiator has a leak you may notice bubbles escaping or steam billowing out of the radiator. If you notice that your engine is hotter than usual this could indicate damage to the Smart Smart radiator, which, over a long period of use, will eventually deteriorate and need replacing. Due to prolonged use, old radiators can experience a variety of problems. Rust; a failed thermostat; blockages and build up causing a restriction to the coolant flow; a faulty water pump; loose solders; wear and tear on the seams and cracked hoses can all cause the Smart Smart radiator to malfunction and require a replacement.
Smart trivia
- It might be a term that’s being used to describe a wide range of vehicles, but Smart is actually a brand name. The Smart name is an acronym for ‘Swatch Mercedes Art’, and is an offshoot of Mercedes Benz. Volkswagen and the watch designer Swatch also played a part in the design of the microcar.
- Both the Smart ForTwo and the Smart ForFour have semi-automatic gears, so you still have to use the gear stick, but strangely, there isn’t a clutch pedal at all! It can take some getting used to, but it certainly makes driving a lot more relaxing.
- One of the first adverts showcasing the safety of Smart cars was criticized for suspected fakery because consumers didn't believe any of the claims made in the ads. However, Smart released a behind the scenes video on YouTube that showed how the advert was made and revealed that Smart cars are a lot sturdier than you might think.
- They’re small cars with small engines, but the Smart ForTwo is incredibly efficient. It’s only eight gallons, but those eight gallons will get you around 350 miles of driving (that means a very impressive 40-miles per gallon).
- You can fit a Smart ForTwo the wrong way in a parallel parking space, or you can fit two of them into a basic one-car parking space. That makes it ideal for busy cities, which is why the Smart range was designed in the first place.
