Featured Pontiac Radiator Hose Models

Most probably, you know much of a radiator. As most people would say and as its name implies, the device works with a particular type of energy, radiating or transferring it to another aspect. In your Pontiac, a radiator is a heat exchanger. It works to dissipate excess heat accumulated within the engine with the aid of coolant, thermostat and water pump. But then, all these engine cooling components will all be useless without the device that'll act as bridge towards the engine, the radiator hose.

Basically, the Pontiac radiator hose is the part of the engine cooling system that connects both the engine and the radiator to the water pump. It is where the coolant passes in order to reach the engine blocks and walls where it'll collect the unnecessary thermal energy. It also serves as the path back to the radiator, where the actual heat dissipation is conducted. The radiator hose should always be in tip-top shape, not unless you don't mind letting your engine to overheat.

Only 30% of the chemical energy of the fuel is transformed by the Pontiac engine into mechanical power. The remaining 70% is converted into thermal energy. Though, the engine would be able to produce more power when it's hotter, its components cannot withstand extreme heat level. And so, the Pontiac radiator hose, together with the other cooling system parts keep the engine at an ideal level of temperature through dissipating heat and transferring it to the air. Other parts of the engine cooling system that works with the radiator hose are the radiator fan, coolant tank, intercooler, and several more.

Typical radiator hoses are made from rubber material and vary in sizes from vehicle-to-vehicle depending on engine requirement. There are different types of hoses built for specific purposes. The common hose is a straight hose made from rubber and usually with fabric reinforcement, which may not be bent before collapsing. Molded or shaped hoses are much like the common hoses yet can be bent without collapsing. The accordion type hoses can endure severe bending and at the same time absorb some of the vibration between the engine and the radiator.

There are a lot of reasons that can cause wearing of your Pontiac radiator hose. One, hoses mounted near the engine can burn up due to excessive heat. In such case, cuts or breaks will appear on the edges, preventing then the radiator from performing properly.
