What is the function of automotive antifreeze?
1 Answers
During vehicle operation, the engine operates at high temperatures. If the engine continues to work under high temperatures, it can lead to damage or even complete failure in a very short time. Automotive antifreeze is added to the cooling system, where the engine's heat is transferred through the cooling system, reducing the temperature before dissipating it into the surroundings, thereby providing a cooling effect and preventing overheating. Relevant information about antifreeze is as follows: 1. Introduction: The full name of antifreeze should be antifreeze coolant, meaning a coolant with antifreeze properties. Antifreeze prevents the coolant from freezing and expanding in cold winter conditions, which could otherwise crack the radiator or damage the engine cylinder block or cylinder head. 2. Functions: It provides anti-corrosion protection for components of the cooling system; prevents scale formation, avoiding reduced heat dissipation efficiency of the radiator; and ensures the engine operates within the normal temperature range.
