The cooling water circuit of the motor is an essential component of the heat exchanger. The heat exchanger is designed to transmit heat from one area to another.
Engine coolant heat exchanger functionThe heat exchanger plays a key role in the cooling water circuit, as the cooling water travels it absorbs the heat that is produced by the engine and sends it to the radiator. Once the heat is transported to the radiator, it is released into the vehicle interior so that it is warm inside the vehicle. The engine coolant heat exchanger must be kept in good working order to ensure the interior cabin gets nice and warm.
Common problems with a defective engine coolant heat exchangerA faulty engine coolant heat exchanger can lead to the engine overheating, failure to warm up the cabin, or a lack of coolant fluid.
