What are the functions of antifreeze?
1 Answers
Antifreeze has the following functions: 1. Anti-corrosion: Antifreeze not only does not cause corrosion to the engine cooling system but also has anti-corrosion and rust removal functions; 2. High boiling point: The boiling point of water is 100 degrees Celsius, while high-quality antifreeze coolant typically has a boiling point above 110 degrees Celsius, making it less likely to boil over in summer compared to water; 3. Anti-scaling: Using water as a coolant can cause scaling issues that trouble drivers. Scale adheres to the metal surfaces of the radiator and water jacket, gradually reducing heat dissipation efficiency and being difficult to remove. High-quality antifreeze is made with distilled water and contains anti-scaling additives, which not only prevent scale formation but also have descaling capabilities.
