What is the reason for the radiator always losing water when the water temperature is not high?
1 Answers
Because there is leakage at the upper and lower hoses of the radiator or the hose connections. The upper and lower hoses of the cooling system are made of rubber, and these rubber components experience significant working temperature differences. Over prolonged use, the rubber hoses gradually age, lose elasticity, and even develop cracks, leading to coolant leakage. However, a small amount of coolant loss does not affect the operation of the cooling system. Here is some additional information about coolant: 1. Corrosion prevention: Coolant does not cause corrosion to the engine cooling system and also has anti-corrosion and rust-removal functions. 2. Prevention of boiling: The boiling point of water is 100°C, while high-quality antifreeze coolant typically has a boiling point of around 110°C, which helps prevent boiling during summer use. 3. Scale prevention: High-quality coolant is made with distilled water and contains anti-scaling additives, which not only prevent scale buildup but also help remove existing scale.
