Automotive coolant is used to protect the engine cooling system. Its main function is to regulate heat and dissipate cold to prevent overheating.
The heat generated by internal combustion engines is one of the traditional aspects of these mechanisms. Ironically, it is one of the causes of engine failures and its excessive heating would lead to its ruin.
The heat generated by internal combustion engines is one of the traditional aspects of these mechanisms. However, it must also be taken into account that excess heat can cause overheating that is detrimental to the propellants.
In addition to preventing overheating and engine failure, coolant ensures that normal water does not freeze easily. Under normal conditions, liquids freeze when they reach 0°, but with the use of this liquid the temperature can drop to -30°.
In addition, it prevents corrosion and oxidation of the metal parts of the cooling system.
What is coolant
The car’s coolant is an extremely important element for the vehicle’s cooling system. Its main function is to regulate the engine temperature and prevent it from overheating.
The coolant circulates through the engine and radiator, dissipating the heat generated during combustion. It also prevents freezing in extreme cold conditions and protects against corrosion.
What it is composed of
The components of the coolant are:
- Distilled water.
- Antifreeze.
- Antifoam.
- Dye.
Why is coolant important?
The main function, as mentioned above, is to absorb the heat of the engine to avoid dangerous overheating. It is also very important to avoid extreme cold and freezing of parts during the winter.
On the other hand, as its name suggests, it is able to lubricate and cool the parts and components of the vehicle’s cooling system. A good coolant is one that can clean and protect the engine at all times and prevent corrosion.
The main function is to absorb the engine heat to avoid dangerous overheating. In addition, since it tolerates very low temperatures, it does not allow parts to freeze in winter, which would cause serious mechanical problems.
