It is an essential part of the cooling system in Chevrolet Astro whose function is to allow the release of heat from the coolant. Its function is analogous to that of a heat exchanger and boils down to transferring heat from the coolant flowing through its core to air passing through it. Such Radiators are generally characterized by the use of aluminum at their core and plastic and aluminum tanks; however, some may use copper or brass. In the recent past, performance radiators have developed as an upgrade to the standard from a tank and fin design; lightweight aluminium, welded tanks improve the life of the radiator and efficiency of heat transfer. These performance models are frequently enhanced with larger tubes and greater density of fins, allowing for better flow of the coolant and lower temperatures. Chevrolet Astro radiators are listed in both direct fit and universal categories to fit many applications such as custom or racing.
