What happens if too much antifreeze is added?
1 Answers
Adding too much antifreeze can increase the pressure after the antifreeze expands, which may cause the antifreeze to overflow. Antifreeze prevents the coolant from freezing when the car is parked in cold winter, thereby avoiding the risk of cracking the radiator or freezing the engine cylinder block. Its full name is antifreeze coolant. Many people think that antifreeze is only used in winter, but in fact, antifreeze should be used all year round. There are many types of automotive antifreeze, such as calcium chloride among inorganic substances, methanol, ethanol, ethylene glycol, glycerin, lubricating oil among organic substances, as well as common substances like sugar and honey in daily life, which can all serve as the base liquid for antifreeze. After adding an appropriate amount of purified soft water, it becomes the antifreeze in the general sense.
