What is the normal consumption of coolant over 5,000 kilometers?
1 Answers
Under normal circumstances, an annual consumption of 10% to 36% is considered normal. If the engine is low on coolant, it must be replenished immediately; otherwise, it may lead to poor heat dissipation in the engine. Automobiles use water-cooled engines, which rely on the continuous circulation of coolant within the engine for heat dissipation. Additional information: 1. The coolant follows two circulation paths within the engine: one is the major cycle, and the other is the minor cycle. 2. When the engine is first started, the coolant undergoes the minor cycle, during which it does not pass through the radiator for heat dissipation, facilitating rapid engine warm-up. 3. Once the engine reaches its normal operating temperature, the coolant switches to the major cycle, passing through the radiator to dissipate heat, thereby maintaining the engine within a reasonable temperature range.
