The job of a heavy duty radiator is simple: to prevent overheating in your diesel engine. There are many components that help it do this, from the radiator core to the engine coolant. Some radiator issues are inevitable with operation and can be easily identified and fixed with a maintenance plan. Others require repair work […]
The first official day of summer is approaching fast and high temperatures can put more stress on diesel engines and their cooling systems. Especially if you are in an area that regularly hits triple digits, there are some important steps you should take to make sure your diesel engine equipment is prepared for the summer […]
One of the most widely-used types of heat exchanger is the shell and tube heat exchanger. In this design, a large pressure vessel (shell) houses a bundle of tubes through which fluid flows. A different fluid flows within the shell but outside the tubes, and heat is transferred between the two. Shell and tube heat […]
In 2007, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued new mandates for the regulation of diesel engine exhaust. The need to comply with these changes, along with evolving technology, have led to significant changes in how diesel exhaust systems work. With those changes comes increasing responsibility of operators to understand how their system works and how […]
We all know that overheating is a big potential problem for diesel engines. But did you know that overcooling can be just as serious of a problem? Diesel engine care isn’t only about keeping cool, but regulating temperature precisely so that it stays warm enough to run efficiently. This is especially important for heavy equipment […]
Industrial Radiator offers comprehensive testing, cleaning and repair services for industrial plate heat exchangers (PHE). This is a type of heat exchanger prized for its efficiency. Compared to some other types of heat exchanger, a PHE can reduce fluid temperatures quickly because of the large surface area of its plates. The importance of those metal […]
Now that the fall season has officially begun, it’s a good time to think about what you can do to help prepare your diesel engine cooling system for cold weather. Coming out of a scorching summer may feel like relief, but dropping temperatures can lead to a host of new problems for hardworking diesel engine […]
There are many components that affect the performance of your diesel engine cooling system, from a cooling engine thermostat to the liquid coolant that helps carry heat away from your engine. One of these you may not think about is the oil cooler core. An oil cooler core is essentially a small radiator that lowers […]
