Heater radiator for microclimate control (Freelander 2)

The heater radiator is installed in the microclimate control unit, located along the vehicle axis between the instrument panel and the engine compartment bulkhead. Two pipes pass through the bulkhead into the engine compartment and are connected to the supply and return hoses of the cooling system heater.

The coolant supply hose connects to the outlet port on the thermal control module. The coolant return hose connects to the EGR heat exchanger.

The heater radiator is made of aluminum and has two tanks at the edges connected by tubes. Between the tubes are aluminum fins that transfer heat to the passing air. Coolant is supplied to the heater radiator whenever the engine is running.
