I-hose ye-radiator ye-eine isikhathi eside izokhula, kulula ukuphula, amanzi kulula ukungena kwi-radiator, i-hose yephulwe yinqubo enkulu yamanzi avela kwikhava ye-Injini, lapho kwenzeka lesi simo esiphephile sokuma, bese kuthi lapho kuthatha izinyathelo eziphuthumayo zokuxazulula.
Ngokuvamile, lapho i-radiator isemanzini, ukuhlangana kwe-hose kungenzeka kakhulu ukukhiqiza imifantu nokuvuza. Ngalesi sikhathi, unganquma ingxenye eyonakele ngesikhafu, bese ufaka i-hose ungene kwi-radiator inlet ohlanganiswe futhi, bese uqinisa ngesiqeshana noma ngocingo. Uma ukuqhekeka kusengxenyeni ephakathi ye-hose, ungasonga ukuqhekeka okuvuzayo ngetheyipu. Sula i-hose ngaphambi kokugoqa, bese usonga itheyiphu ezungeze ukuvuza ngemuva kokuvuza komile. Ngoba ingcindezi yamanzi e-hose iphakeme lapho injini isebenza, itheyiphu kufanele ifakwe ngakunye ngangokunokwenzeka. Uma ungenayo itheyipu esesandleni, ungaphinde ugoqe iphepha leplastiki elizungeze izinyembezi kuqala, bese usika indwangu endala ibe yimichilo bese uyigoqa izungeze i-hose. Kwesinye isikhathi ukuqhekeka kwe-hose kukhulu, futhi kungavuza ngemuva kokufakwa. Ngalesi sikhathi, ikhava yethangi ingavulwa ukunciphisa ingcindezi emgwaqweni wamanzi futhi kunciphise ukuvuza.
Ngemuva kokuthathwa kwezinyathelo ezingenhla, ijubane le-Injini akufanele lisheshe kakhulu, futhi kuyadingeka ukulengisa ukushayela ibanga eliphakeme ngangokunokwenzeka. Ngesikhathi sokushayela, kuyadingeka nokunaka isikhundla se-pointer segeji yamanzi yokushisa. Lapho izinga lokushisa lamanzi liphezulu kakhulu, kuyadingeka ukuma nokupholisa phansi noma engeza amanzi apholile.
I-radiator ihlukaniswe ngezindlela ezintathu zokufaka, ezinjengohlangothi olufanayo, uhlangothi olufanayo ngaphandle, uhlangothi oluhlukile ku, uhlangothi oluhlukile ngaphandle, futhi phansi. Akunandaba noma iyiphi indlela engasetshenziswa, kufanele sizame ukunciphisa inani lokufakwa kwamapayipi. Ukufakwa kwamapayipi okwengeziwe, hhayi izindleko kuphela ezizokhuphuka, kepha futhi nezingozi ezifihliwe zizokwanda
