What Causes Coolant to Boil and Overflow?
1 Answers
Coolant boiling and overflowing is caused by a damaged radiator or a connection between the oil seat and the water channel. Below are specific details about coolant: 1. Definition: Coolant, whose full name should be antifreeze coolant, refers to a cooling liquid with antifreeze properties. Antifreeze prevents the coolant from freezing and expanding in cold weather, which could crack the radiator or damage the engine cylinder block. Antifreeze is not only for winter use but should be used year-round. In regular car maintenance, the engine coolant should be replaced every year. 2. Function: Coolant is an essential part of a car engine. It circulates within the engine cooling system, carrying away excess heat generated during engine operation to maintain the engine at its optimal working temperature. Insufficient coolant can lead to overheating of the engine, potentially causing damage to engine components. If a car owner notices low coolant levels, they should top it up promptly.
