Keeping your hard-working engine cool is the job of your Dodge Caravan radiator, the core of your vehicle’s cooling system. Your radiator is a horizontal- or vertical-finned device located near the front of your engine bay that contains a series of tubes and passages designed to hold large amounts of liquid, namely, engine coolant. As the coolant circulates through your engine, it absorbs heat from the various moving parts.
Once it reaches your Caravan radiator, the heat is dissipated so that it can continue to absorb more. The Dodge Caravan radiator cools down the liquid by increasing the surface area as it enters the tubes and passages.
Additional cooling is provided by air moving through your front grille as you drive, or by the auxiliary fan behind your radiator when your engine is idling. Coolant flows in and out of your Caravan radiator through two radiator hoses, an upper and a lower. Your water pump keeps the coolant moving through the system. The most frequent types of problems that occur with the Dodge Caravan radiator are leaks and blockage. The coolant moving through your engine picks up particles of rust and debris, which can gather in the passages of the radiator and create blockages. This is why you should have your Caravan radiator flushed and cleaned regularly according to the manufacturer’s guidelines. Leaks can develop at the radiator hose, the water pump, or in the body of the radiator itself.
