If this is about a car: the heater in a car is basically another radiator, but this one sitting inside the car. When you turn the heater on you draw heat from the engine and into the car. If you aren't running the car hard enough the temperature in the engine will drop.

Does a car engine get hot when it runs?

An engine of a car burns gasoline inside the piston chambers. This makes the temperature to be hot when running. The radiatorfluid that cools the engine becomes hot also, where a fan and air entering the front of the radiator cools the fluid several degrees lower to mantain the temperature in an specific temperature range.When the temperature of the eninge is not controlled, it overheats causing damage to it.


How does the radiator fan know to come on?

Most often there is a temperature sensor that tells the fan to run or not: above 165F (in a lot of cases) the fan goes on, below that it is off to allow the engine to warm up to running temperature. It varies from car to car and even day to day based on readings that the cars computer takes in running the engine.
