How Many Types of Antifreeze Are There?
1 Answers
Antifreeze can be divided into 3 types: ethanol type, ethylene glycol type, and glycerol type. Antifreeze is a coolant containing special additives, mainly used in liquid-cooled engine cooling systems. It has excellent properties such as preventing freezing in winter, boiling in summer, and protecting against scale and corrosion throughout the year. Antifreeze prevents the coolant from freezing and cracking the radiator or damaging the engine cylinder block when the vehicle is parked in cold seasons. It is not only used in winter but all year round. Antifreeze is an essential working medium to ensure the normal operation of water-cooled engines, consisting of three parts: water, antifreeze agent, and additives.
