Is a 108°C Boiling Point for Antifreeze Sufficient?

[StTimothy]

Antifreeze with a boiling point of 108°C is sufficient. Generally, the boiling point of antifreeze is around 110°C, and its primary function is to cool the engine, so an excessively high boiling point is unnecessary. The boiling point refers to the temperature at which a liquid turns into a gas, and different liquids have different boiling points under the same external pressure. Antifreeze is used for cooling and temperature reduction, and its inherent properties and composition result in a high boiling point. The functions of antifreeze include: 1. Providing anti-corrosion protection for the engine's cooling system; 2. Preventing the engine temperature from reaching 100°C and causing the water to boil; 3. Preventing the formation of scale, which could reduce the radiator's cooling efficiency; 4. Ensuring the engine operates normally under low-temperature conditions.
