The radiator is the reservoir of the coolant that circulates around the engine block. The coolant is a mixture of water and anti-freeze so that it will not solidify during winter. When the engine starts to produce power and the temperature rises, the coolant inside it will start to absorb the heat and will flow towards the Mazda Radiator so that the heat that it has absorbed will be dissipated in the surrounding atmosphere. Once it reaches the radiator, the heat that it carries will be relayed to the cooling fins of the device so that the heat can be slowly removed. The cooling fins will be blown with air by the cooling fan that faces it. The cooling fan spins everytime the engine is moving or when the engine temperature necessitates the presence of air. In order for the coolant to move back and forth from and to the engine block, the radiator has connecting hoses to the engine block. One serves as the inlet hose where the cooled coolant moves towards the engine block while the other is an outlet hose where the heated coolant flows towards the radiator.
The heated coolant tends to expand and forces itself to get out of the reservoir of the radiator and spill out into the streets, no longer being able to circulate back to the engine block. As a means of avoiding this incident, the radiator must be provided with another tank that will serve as an alternative reservoir where the coolant can be further cooled. This should be connected through a hose to the overflow cap of the radiator so that the escaping coolant can directly flow to the secondary tank. Replacing the Mazda Radiator is very important when there are already signs of breakdown to avoid engine overheating.
