What are the effects of insufficient antifreeze on a car?
1 Answers
Insufficient antifreeze can have the following effects on a car: 1. The engine or radiator may freeze and crack, leading to engine failure; 2. It can also affect the radiator's heat dissipation efficiency, failing to achieve the required cooling effect, disrupting normal circulation, and causing high temperatures, which in severe cases may lead to engine burnout. Antifreeze is designed to prevent the coolant from freezing during cold winter parking, thereby avoiding the expansion and cracking of the radiator and the freezing damage to the engine cylinder block. Its full name is antifreeze coolant. Antifreeze is a type of coolant containing special additives, primarily used in liquid-cooled engine cooling systems. It offers excellent performance in preventing freezing in winter, boiling in summer, and providing year-round protection against scale and corrosion.
