What Causes Rapid Antifreeze Consumption?
1 Answers
There are several main reasons for rapid antifreeze consumption in cars: 1. Poorly designed cooling system; 2. Leakage; 3. Rapid consumption due to poor circulation; 4. Coolant entering the cylinder and being burned. Additional information about automotive coolant: 1. Coolant, also known as antifreeze, is a liquid composed of antifreeze additives, anti-corrosion additives for metals, and water. It needs to possess properties such as freeze resistance, corrosion resistance, thermal conductivity, and non-deterioration. 2. Modern antifreeze typically uses ethylene glycol as the main component, mixed with anti-corrosion additives and water. The engine cooling system in internal combustion vehicles is a liquid-cooled closed-loop system consisting of cylinders, jackets, and radiators.
