Speaking of antifreeze, I believe that many car owners are not strangers, and in the process of using vehicles, most car owners also know where the coolant is placed.
However, some car owners will find such a situation when maintaining the car, that is, the color of the antifreeze is different, there are pink, green, blue and other colors, why is this? To this end, we asked several car owners, they have expressed that they are not clear, so we asked the maintenance master to answer, as the maintenance master said: if the owner does not pay attention, the cylinder will be late.
For coolants, their full name should be called "cooling unfreezed", and its role is very important. In the summer car, the temperature of the engine is relatively high, and if you add water to the water tank, it is very easy to boil, and the cooling capacity is more likely to decrease.
If you use coolant, you can increase the boiling point of water and help with the use of the car. In addition, in winter cars, most of the cars are in a sub-zero environment, and it is easy to freeze if you use ordinary water in the water tank. However, in antifreeze, the zero point of the water can be reduced, preventing the water inside the tank from solidifying.
Therefore, the role of antifreeze is very important, why does the engine fluid not become transparent and colorless, or become the same color. The maintenance host answered. Originally, the coolant was mainly made of glycerin, ethylene glycol, propylene glycol and other materials mixed, of which glycerin is pink, ethylene glycol is green, propylene glycol is blue, each kind of coolant mixing ratio is different, and the final product is pink, green and blue. It depends on the nature of the raw material.
On the other hand, different colors of antifreeze have different properties, and different types of antifreeze can be distinguished according to color. Some antifreeze have better antifreeze effect, but other antifreeze may have better cooling effect. Mixing different types of antifreeze is easy to cause chemical reactions, easy to produce failure and corrosion. Therefore, it is also a very good method to distinguish between different types of antifreeze according to color.
Finally, by applying color to the antifreeze, leakage can contribute to the safety of the car even if a leak is observed. There is a case of antifreeze leakage during the use of the car. If it is not found in time, the possibility of the engine overheating into a burst cylinder is very high, if it is coated with antifreeze, you can observe the leakage of coolant, making the car safer. This is not surprising to the repairman.
Speaking of which, we should know that the red, green and blue of the antifreeze is not so simple as it seems, but in the process of the owner's post-preparation, as far as possible to choose the original type of antifreeze to add is the most suitable for the performance of the car. Have you learned it again?
