What is the freezing point of antifreeze in degrees below zero?
1 Answers
The freezing point of antifreeze ranges from -40 to -60 degrees Celsius, while water freezes at 0 degrees Celsius. It is necessary to add antifreeze to the radiator when the temperature approaches 0 degrees Celsius. The functions of automotive antifreeze are: 1. Providing anti-corrosion protection for components of the cooling system; 2. Preventing scale formation to avoid reducing the radiator's heat dissipation efficiency; 3. Ensuring the engine operates within the normal temperature range. Precautions for using antifreeze include: 1. Regularly checking the antifreeze level and replenishing it promptly if it falls below the lower limit; 2. Observing whether the antifreeze has any turbid sediments and replacing it in time if turbidity is found; 3. Not mixing antifreeze of different colors as they vary by vehicle model; 4. Measuring the freezing point of antifreeze before winter to prevent it from freezing.
