How are radiators connected?
Radiators are normally connected to a central heating system via pipes and hot water flows through these pipes and into the radiators themselves transferring hot water into the radiator. As mentioned, this hot water heats the room via convection. As the hot water flows through the system it starts to cool down.
How does a radiator work and how does it work?
The Radiator working is very simple. In radiator, the coolant flows from the inlet to the outlet through many tubes mounted in a parallel arrangement. The hot water enters the radiator through the inlet port. And a fan is attached on behind the radiator to cool down the hot water in the tubes.
What kind of material is a radiator made of?
Radiators are usually made of copper and brass because of their high heat conductivity. The various sections of the radiators are almost completely joined by soldering. In tubular type core, the upper and lower tanks are connected by a series of tubes through which water passes.
Where does the coolant come from in a radiator?
The aluminium fins are attached to the tubes this called tubulator. Now the tubes are filled with hot coolant coming from the engine. So they’re going to give off heat to this aluminium coat by passing air through the fan, it cools the aluminium coat.
What are the different types of radiator tanks?
There are two basic types of radiator. Tubular type ; Cellular type; Tubular Type Core. In tubular type core, the upper and lower tanks are connected by a series of tubes through which water passes. Fins are placed around the tubes to improve heat transfer.
Where is the steam pipe in a radiator?
At left is a one pipe steam heat radiator. You can just make out the steam vent on the right side of the radiator, and at the radiator’s lower left you can see the steam pipe and radiator valve – the steam enters and the condensate returns through the piping and valve at the radiator lower left end.

How is the valve to the radiator connected?
In plumbing lingo the valve-to-radiator opening is an FNPT (Female National Pipe Thread) and is connected to the FNPT on the radiator by using an MNPT (Male National Pipe Thread) brass Union. And hey Jon, good luck on your test.
