Reference: Radiator.

Reference information:
There are many kinds of radiators.

Cast iron radiators are used for heating households, the pressure difference is minimal. The water reaches a temperature between 50ªC and 80ªC, it never boils.
Cast iron radiators are tested at the foundry.

Radiators used in cars, buses, ships, trains, in explosion engines. are made of a coiled tubing havinga a very high transference surface. The hot water from the engine enters into the radiiator and is cooled down and then reenters the engine.
All connections are clamped rubber hoses therefore the probability of a leak is high. The water is very hot when it enters the radiator.
If a leak is present in this type of radiator, water under pressure is lost. The motor burns down and must be repaired or changed.
This test can be made at any time.
If you find a pool of water under your car, beware.

Ships cool down their motors with a doble interchange radiator that uses cold sea water instead of a forced air stream.

agree  cranesfreak: Agree with most of your reference. In the ships your explanation is quite accurate, but the usual word onboard a ship is not "radiator" but "cooler".e.g. engine water cooler, lube oil cooler, etc Saludos a todos :))
