1. Radiator

   Radiators are heat exchangers used to transfer thermal energy from one medium to another for the purpose of cooling and heating. The majority of radiators are constructed to function in cars, buildings, and electronics. A radiator is always a source of heat to its environment, although this may be for either the purpose of heating this environment, or for cooling the fluid or coolant supplied to it, as for automotive engine cooling and HVAC dry cooling towers. Despite the name, most radiators transfer the bulk of their heat via convection instead of thermal radiation.

1. radiator

   A radiator is a device, often made of metal, that is used for heating or cooling in various systems. It works by circulating a fluid, often water or air, through a system to transfer heat. In a heating system, like in buildings, it releases heat into the surrounding area to increase the temperature. In a cooling system, like in vehicles, it dissipively removes heat from an engine or other components to prevent overheating.

Despite the name, radiators generally transfer the bulk of their heat via convection, not by thermal radiation, though the term "convector" is used more narrowly; see radiation and convection, below. The Roman hypocaust, a type of radiator for building space heating, was described in 15 AD. The heating radiator was invented by Franz San Galli, a Polish-born Russian businessman living in St. Petersburg, between 1855 and 1857.
