Are the Car Radiator and Antifreeze Tank the Same?
1 Answers
Car radiator and antifreeze are in the same tank. The car radiator, also known as the cooling radiator, and the coolant tank, which is the expansion tank, are interconnected and both are used to hold antifreeze. Composition of Antifreeze: The main components of antifreeze are: 50% pure water, 40% methanol, and 10% other substances. Types of Antifreeze: Antifreeze is generally divided into three types: ethanol-water type, glycerol-water type, and ethylene glycol-water type. Can Different Antifreeze Be Mixed? The same brand of antifreeze must be used. Different brands of antifreeze may have different production formulas. If mixed, various additives may undergo chemical reactions, rendering the additives ineffective. How to Choose Antifreeze: The basic indicators of antifreeze are the freezing point and boiling point. The market offers antifreeze with freezing points of -15℃, -25℃, -30℃, -40℃, etc. Generally, it is advisable to choose one that is at least 10℃ lower than the lowest temperature in your region.
