Why is coolant leakage more common in winter?
1 Answers
The reason why coolant leaks more easily in winter is: frequent use of the heater in winter causes the coolant to evaporate and decrease in volume. Composition of coolant: The main components of coolant are: 50% purified water, 40% methanol, and 10% other substances. Types of coolant: Coolants are generally divided into three types: ethanol-water type, glycerol-water type, and ethylene glycol-water type. Can different coolants be mixed? It is necessary to use the same brand of coolant. Different brands of coolant may have different production formulas. If mixed, chemical reactions between various additives are likely to occur, rendering the additives ineffective. How to choose coolant: The basic indicators of coolant are freezing point and boiling point. The freezing points of coolants available on the market include -15°C, -25°C, -30°C, -40°C, etc. Generally, it is advisable to choose a coolant with a freezing point at least 10°C lower than the lowest temperature in your region.
