1 Answers
Automotive coolants can be categorized into the following types: 1. Alcohol-based coolant; 2. Glycerin-based coolant; 3. Ethylene glycol-based coolant; 4. Propylene glycol-based coolant. The functions of automotive coolants include: 1. Preventing the engine and radiator from freezing and cracking in low-temperature environments; 2. Preventing corrosion in the cooling system; 3. Reducing scale formation during circulation; 4. Absorbing heat to prevent the radiator from overheating and boiling. Precautions for using automotive coolants: 1. Prevent coolant leakage; 2. Coolant is toxic—avoid ingestion; 3. Coolant is flammable—exercise caution to prevent fire hazards.
