Running out of water in the vehicle's radiator can cause the engine to overheat, damaging its internal components, and in severe cases, may even lead to engine failure. The car engine must be adequately cooled in high-temperature working conditions to maintain an optimal operating temperature, ensuring good performance, durability, and meeting exhaust emission requirements. The water in the car radiator should generally be replaced every two years or every 30,000 to 40,000 kilometers driven. For vehicles with high usage frequency, it should be replaced earlier as needed. If the antifreeze coolant level is found to be below the minimum mark before the scheduled replacement period, it should be replenished promptly.

What does nanoe in the car mean?

nanoe is an in-car air purifier. The five major advantages of nanoe: 1. Small particle size and weak acidity: With its size of only 5-20nm, nanoe can penetrate deep into fibers and the stratum corneum, surrounding and inhibiting allergens (such as pollen, dust mite corpses, feces, etc.). Additionally, its pH level is weakly acidic, similar to human skin and hair, making it gentle on the skin and suitable for sensitive individuals. 2. Stability: nanoe nano-sized water ions are less likely to combine with oxygen and nitrogen in the air compared to ordinary negative ions, allowing them to remain stable in the air and neutralize bacteria, thus providing longer-lasting effects that can reach every corner of the room. 3. High OH ion content: The nanoe nano-sized water ions, rich in OH hydroxyl groups, can extract hydrogen ions, which then combine with OH hydroxyl groups to form water, thereby inhibiting bacteria. 4. Fresh scent: Maintains a fresh environment inside the car.

Why is the engine roar loud during acceleration?

Specific reasons for loud engine roar during acceleration are as follows: 1. Exhaust pipe leakage: When there is leakage in the intake or exhaust pipes, the vehicle will produce a loud roar as the exhaust rate increases during acceleration. 2. Dirty or clogged throttle valve: During acceleration, the engine load increases, requiring the throttle valve to open wider and more fuel to be injected. If the throttle valve fails to open to the optimal position due to dirt or clogging, it will result in poor air-fuel mixture ratio, causing noise during acceleration. 3. Engine misfire: Engine misfire mainly refers to one or more cylinders not working properly. Common symptoms include insufficient vehicle power, severe shaking of the exhaust pipe, and a clear "popping" or "thumping" roar from the engine.

What does coolant mean in a car?

Coolant in a car refers to antifreeze, and this English word is typically found on the expansion tank of the car's antifreeze system. The full name of antifreeze is antifreeze coolant, and its primary function is not to prevent freezing but to cool. Antifreeze prevents the coolant from freezing in cold winter conditions when the car is parked, which could otherwise cause the radiator to crack or damage the engine cylinder block or head. Antifreeze is a type of coolant containing special additives, mainly used in liquid-cooled engine cooling systems. It offers excellent performance in preventing freezing in winter, boiling in summer, and resisting scale and corrosion throughout the year. The effective lifespan of antifreeze is usually two years. It should be replaced when it expires or if the coolant becomes dirty. During replacement, it is essential to completely remove the old coolant, add clean water, start the engine, and let it idle for about ten minutes to circulate and clean. After stopping the engine, the clean water should then be drained.
