What is the boiling point of Shell antifreeze?
1 Answers
The boiling point of Shell antifreeze is 106.5 degrees Celsius (at normal pressure). The key parameters for antifreeze are boiling point and freezing point - the lower the freezing point the better (e.g. -35°C is better than -30°C), while the higher the boiling point the better. The full name of antifreeze should be antifreeze coolant, meaning coolant with antifreeze function. Antifreeze prevents the coolant from freezing and cracking the radiator or damaging the engine cylinder block/head when parked in cold winter. Antifreeze is a special additive-containing coolant mainly used in liquid-cooled engine cooling systems. It has excellent properties including winter antifreeze protection, summer boil-over protection, year-round scale prevention, and corrosion resistance. Vehicle antifreeze generally needs replacement every 2 years or 40,000 kilometers - this is just a reference interval. For commercial vehicles with longer mileage, the replacement cycle should be shorter. Since each vehicle's operating conditions differ, replacement should be based on actual usage. Regularly check the antifreeze condition: replenish immediately if insufficient; if suspended matter, sediment, or deterioration/discoloration is observed, replace promptly and clean the system.
