The Mazda RX-7 Radiator cools the engine to prevent the rotary engine from overheating and transfers heat to the flowing air as quickly as possible. It is actually a fin and tube heat exchanger mounted behind the grille in the nose of the car, which allows pumps to force the hot antifreeze out of the block through narrow aluminum tubes while thin fins draw the heat toward the airflow generated by vehicle velocity and an electric fan. This rapid convection action instead of actual radiation dispersion expands the enormous surface area and thus the temperature decreases before the liquid reenters the engine. Over the years of production, Mazda employed the same principle while trying different materials. Heavy copper brass Radiator designs were available in earlier cars, and the designs were valued for their heavy soldered seams, but later generations abandoned the heavy cores in favor of lighter aluminum cores attached to plastic or aluminum tanks to reduce weight and cost without any significant efficiency loss. The general layout of whatever style was employed in any particular Mazda was the same; there was an inlet tank on one side, an outlet tank on the other side, and a tightly packed core in between. Leakage (usually due to corrosion or impact) is the highly dangerous issue to any Radiator; small holes may be patched in the immediate time, but full replacement may be essential to ensure full cooling efficiency. Frequent flushes make sure that the minerals are washed away to allow the heat to transfer more quickly, thus ensuring that all Mazdas run continuously at cool temperatures, regardless of whether the car enthusiast behind the wheel is driving an old RX-7 or a new Mazda rotary icon.
