One has to stop and admire the progress that Japan has reached. From the pains of World War II, they rose and rebuilt their country leaving the integrity of their nation unscathed. Today, people look at them and the things that they managed to do for everybody all over the world---from the helpful household appliances to the revolutionary cameras, to the innovative vehicles that keep us mobile. One company that saw through this transition is the Mitsubishi Motors. They manufactured and created vehicles such as buses, trucks, and innovative automobiles. Continually, they are able to manufacture premium carparts that are at par with German products.
They are able to innovate ingenious ideas to ensure a more efficient system that runs under the hood. Like for the most important, the cooling system of the car that keeps it from overheating. There are a lot of parts that perform in this process, and the car radiator is one of them. Mitsubishi is the proud maker of the Mitsubishi Radiators. The radiator is a type of heat exchanger. It is designed to transfer heat from the hot coolant that flows to the air blown through it by the fan. Most modern cars, just like the Mitsubishi cars, use aluminum radiators. The Mitsubishi Radiators are made by brazing thin aluminum fins to flattened aluminum tubes. The coolant flows from the inlet to the outlet through many tubes mounted in a parallel arrangement. The fins conduct the heat from the tubes and transfer it to the air flowing through the radiator.
The tubes sometimes have a type of fin inserted into them called a turbulator, which increases the turbulence of the fluid flowing through the tubes. If the fluid flowed very smoothly through the tubes, only the fluid actually touching the tubes would be cooled directly. The amount of heat transferred to the tubes from the fluid running through them depends on the difference in temperature between the tube and the fluid touching it. So if the fluid that is in contact with the tube cools down quickly, less heat will be transferred. By creating turbulence inside the tube, all of the fluid mixes together, keeping the temperature of the fluid touching the tubes up so that more heat can be extracted, and all of the fluid inside the tube is used effectively.
The Mitsubishi Radiators usually have a tank on each side, and the inside tank is the transmission cooler. The transmission cooler is like a radiator within a radiator, except instead of exchanging heat with the air, the oil exchanges heat with the coolant in the radiator.
