What is the normal temperature for antifreeze?
1 Answers
Antifreeze is a type of coolant containing special additives, primarily used in liquid-cooled engine cooling systems. It offers excellent performance such as preventing freezing in winter, boiling in summer, and resisting scale and corrosion year-round. Additionally, it can prevent corrosion and scale buildup, protect the engine's cooling system, improve heat dissipation, and enhance engine efficiency. How to choose antifreeze: The basic indicators of antifreeze are its freezing point and boiling point. On the market, antifreeze is available in specifications such as -15°C, -25°C, -30°C, and -40°C freezing points. Generally, it is advisable to choose an antifreeze with a freezing point at least 10°C lower than the lowest temperature in your region. Antifreeze replacement cycle: For vehicles that operate for extended periods, such as taxis, high-quality antifreeze should typically be replaced once a year. For vehicles with shorter operating times, replacement can be done every two years or every 30,000 kilometers. To avoid excessive foam formation, which can reduce the heat exchange efficiency between the antifreeze and engine components, ensure the product is within its validity period when adding it. Long-life antifreeze can have a validity period of up to three years. If suspended particles, sediment, or signs of deterioration or discoloration are found in the antifreeze, it should be replaced promptly, and the system should be cleaned.
