"Antifreeze? Is not used in antifreeze!" when the random asked some owners"antifreeze have what use", 90% of owners think that used to protect automobile antifreeze antifreeze is winter. This answer is correct? A word, wrong!
Tap water can not replace the antifreeze
"Antifreeze that is used for the wrong understanding of frost", led to many owners like in the summer with tap water or pure water instead of antifreeze, actually this kind of practice is absolutely not desirable.
Special professional fan clutch Yu said, in the cold winter, in order to protect the vehicle's cooling system to work properly, use antifreeze became no ground for blame. But at high temperature in summer, the replacement of antifreeze, many owners think that there is no need to use antifreeze in this period, so as to use tap water or pure water instead, to Kuai winter when they re used antifreeze. In fact, in addition to the role of antifreeze antifreeze and other functions, these functions arevery important for protecting the normal work of the vehicle, if the need to replace the antifreeze with tap water or pure water instead, means that in some way the driving safety.
Antifreeze has corrosion resistance
Not only has the function of antifreeze antifreeze, anti rust, corrosion, waterproof,anti fouling boiling etc also plays a very important role, and the prevention function are also indispensable protective umbrella for automobile. "Anti rust, corrosion is an important function of antifreeze, in meet the anti freezing function, antifreezemust also has corrosion resistance." Special Yu professional fan clutch said, "metaland water contact will be rust, corrosion is the process of metal in the environmentdue to the chemical reaction, electrochemical process and the role of the physicaldestruction, is the universal existence phenomenon. So, in addition to antifreezeantifreeze function, more emphasis on the rust and corrosion function, but alsoslow down the cooling system of non metal materials such as rubber, plasticswelling, aging.
Antifouling antifreeze is an essential function. Said, scaling is insoluble salts or oxidation caused by crystal attached to the surface of the radiator. Scale not only affected the normal heat radiator plugging but also easy to cause the circulation pipeline of the cooling system, seriously affect the engine operation, so the scale proof function of antifreeze is very important. "The summer driv. "The summer driving, met " " boil; situation than other season is much higher, this is mainly because of the high temperature in summer, coupled with the use of air conditioning cooling water temperature too long, easy to caused by the boiling. Butif you add antifreeze, due to its boiling point are generally more than 105 degrees Celsius, boiling point higher than the common cooling water, so it can play a better cooling effect, effectively prevent the cooling water boiling, avoid car " "situation; boil." Finally, to remind the owners, "under normal circumstances, the use of automotive antifreeze period of two years, if the owner is in the summer to use antifreeze, do not exceed the period of use, also do not rush to replace. If you are using tap water, you need to be replaced immediately. The replacement of antifreeze, cooling system must wash car engine.
