What Causes the Reduction of Antifreeze?
1 Answers
Reasons for the reduction of antifreeze: 1. Unreasonable design of the cooling system; 2. Leakage; 3. Poor circulation leading to rapid consumption; 4. Coolant entering the cylinder and being burned or entering the oil pan. A shortage of antifreeze in a car can easily cause the engine to overheat, leading to engine damage. The normal operating temperature of an engine is between 90 and 120 degrees. Once the antifreeze is insufficient, especially in summer, it can easily cause risks such as engine overheating. Antifreeze has the characteristics of a high boiling point and a low freezing point, with a boiling point around 110 degrees, which can effectively maintain the engine at normal operating temperature and protect the engine. Moreover, since water is corrosive and can produce scale that affects cooling efficiency, it is necessary to ensure that the antifreeze in the car's radiator is within the reasonable range, i.e., between the upper and lower limits marked on the radiator.
