Radiator Cap
Pankey's Radiator Repair Shop is the right place in the San Francisco Bay Area to purchase a radiator cap, or any other radiator parts. In addition to a radiator cap for your car, at Pankey's Radiator Repair Shop you can also find the perfect radiator cover, radiator enclosures, or radiator hose for your new or used car, truck, van, or SUV. We also offer custom radiator enclosures, so not only can we help increase your car's performance and efficiency; we can also improve its appearance.
The radiator cap is designed to get rid of excessive pressure created when the coolant overheats or boils. Therefore, the radiator cap is integral to preventing damage to your auto radiator. A pressure sensitive radiator cap increases the allowable pressure for more efficient cooling. The setting of the spring on the radiator cap determines the maximum amount of pressure in the car radiator. When the pressure reaches a predetermined threshold, it forces a first radiator valve to open. When the radiator valve is open, it lets coolant escape from the vehicle radiator. The coolant then flows through a tube into the bottom of the overflow tank. This also purges air out of the system. As the radiator cools down, a vacuum created in the radiator opens a second radiator valve. This action suctions coolant back in from the overflow tank to replace the coolant that was released.
Not all radiator caps are equal. An imperfect radiator cap will not last as long or remain accurately calibrated. If this is the case, the radiator cap will open when the pressure is too low or too high. Thus, it is very important that you choose the right radiator cap for your auto radiator. With some 60 years of expertise in all types of radiators (from the BMW radiator to the industrial radiator), Pankey's Radiator Repair Shop knows that we can find the ideal radiator cap for you, at an affordable price.
