A semi radiator is an essential component of the vehicle's cooling system, designed to maintain the engine's optimal operating temperature by dissipating heat generated during combustion. This is particularly crucial for diesel engines, which produce significant amounts of heat due to their high compression ratios and heavy-duty operation.
The semi radiator dissipates the heat absorbed by the engine coolant. The coolant circulates through the engine, absorbing heat, and then flows into the radiator where it releases this heat to the outside air.
Dura-Lite™semi radiators are available for a variety of semi-truck makes and models, including popular brands like Freightliner, Kenworth, Peterbilt, Mack, and Volvo.
Radiators for Semi Trucks
A semi-truck is a large truck used primarily for transporting goods over long distances. These vehicles are the backbone of the freight and logistics industry, capable of hauling a variety of cargo across vast distances.
Semi-truck diesel engines typically have large displacements, often ranging from 12 to 16 litres. Larger displacement engines can produce more power and torque, making them suitable for heavy-duty applications.
The cooling system in a diesel engine is particularly important due to the high temperatures generated. Regular coolant checks and radiator maintenance are essential.
Dura-Lite Radiators for Semi Trucks are built to withstand harsh conditions, including the bumps and vibrations that are common in heavy-duty trucking. They are designed to resist damage from road debris and other hazards.
Big Truck Radiator
A leaking big truck radiator can quickly escalate into a major problem, leading to engine overheating and potential failure. Early detection and prompt repair are crucial to maintaining the health of your truck’s engine and cooling system thus avoiding costly breakdowns.
If the engine is overheating due to a radiator leak, it may not perform as efficiently. You might notice reduced power, sluggish acceleration, or lower fuel efficiency as the engine struggles to maintain optimal temperatures.
