Will the Car Radiator Freeze at Minus 2 Degrees Celsius?
1 Answers
The freezing point of water is 0 degrees Celsius under standard conditions, so water will freeze when the temperature drops below zero. If no antifreeze is added, the car radiator will freeze at minus 2 degrees Celsius. The consequences of a frozen radiator are: After the radiator freezes, the volume of ice will expand, which can cause the radiator to burst and become damaged. Therefore, it is essential to add qualified antifreeze to the car to prevent radiator damage. Precautions for using antifreeze: The lower the freezing point, the better. The basic indicators of antifreeze are its freezing point and boiling point; try to use the same brand of antifreeze; most antifreeze products have a validity period of two years, so ensure the product is within its validity period when adding it; regular replacement is necessary, typically every two years or every 40,000 kilometers driven.
