The Radiator Panel (small) is a part introduced in version 1.0.4.

It is designed to be placed on the exterior of a rocket or the upper side of a jet, to dissipate heat without the bad aerodynamics and fragility of the Thermal Control System (small). It is intended to cool the part that it is attached to, and any other parts directly attached to that one, and uses electricity while it is performing its function.

The radiators absorb heat from nearby parts, and are self-limiting on temperature. That is, they will intentionally come as close as they can to overheating, because by doing so they absorb as much heat as possible from the surrounding parts.

With version 1.1, these "fixed" radiators need to be activated before they start working. This can prevent them from pulling heat out of SRBs during launch, for example.
