RADIATOR

The
radiator
is

a
conventional
down

type
having

top
and

bottom

tanks
to

distribute
the
coolant
flow

uniformly

the
vertical

13

psi
above

pressure

The
relief
valve

consisting
of

a

blow
off

valve
and
a

vacuum
valve

helps
to

prevent
the
coolant
from

boiling
by
giving

pressure
to
it
How

ever
when

the

pressure
is
reduced

below

atmospheric

pressure
the

vacu

um
valve
allows
air

to
re
enter

the

radiator

preventing
the
formation
of
a

vacuum
in
the

cooling
system
