The Heater Core in Ford Escape cars are used in circulating heated air into the car's cabin through using waste engine heat. Looking somewhat like an undersized radiator, the core is cooled by a water and antifreeze solution; hot coolant taken from the engine circulates through it for heating the car interior. Some of the heater cores can have valves or doors for adjusting the heat output and the modern ones can use electromechanical actuators. In conditioned automobiles, the heater core additionally helps in the process of dehumidification since it re-heats cooled air. Problems may involve blockage, leakage, and abrasion of the inner lining of the blend door that entails a time-consuming complex dashboard dismantling. Other options are available for heating air-cooled engines however they are rather dangerous.
