Asking you to add antifreeze in summer is really not a scam! Let's talk about antifreeze with Xiben Lubricants today.
What is antifreeze?
Antifreeze is the abbreviation for the liquid used in the cooling system of vehicles and engines. It has the functions of preventing freezing in winter, boiling and boiling in summer, as well as preventing corrosion of the metal and rubber in the cylinder body and rusting of the metal components in the cylinder body. It is an important protector for engine and body heat dissipation.
The four "defenses" of antifreeze
freeze-proofing
To have low temperature resistance performance
Anti boiling
Cannot boil or boil at high temperatures, must have appropriate boiling characteristics
antisepsis
It should have anti-corrosion properties for metals and rubber in the cooling system
Anti scaling
Long term use will not cause scaling
The current antifreeze is designed for all-weather use and has functions such as anti boiling, anti freezing, anti-corrosion, anti scaling, and anti rust. Generally, it can meet a service life of 2 years or more.
Long term use of antifreeze can cause an increase in freezing point and a decrease in boiling point. When the vehicle is boiling, it will produce a large amount of water vapor and emit white smoke; At the same time, a large number of bubbles are generated, causing the engine temperature to rise and the oil to become thinner, resulting in wear on the piston, cylinder wall, cylinder, crankshaft, etc. In severe cases, it can cause the piston to melt and the cylinder body to rupture. When a vehicle freezes, it can cause the cylinder block to rupture. The impact force of bubbles generated during high temperatures can cause water pipes to expand, water seals to be damaged, and weak links in the cooling system to rupture and leak due to the impact.
From this, it can be seen that both anti boiling and anti freezing functions are equally important for the engine.
In the scorching summer, the temperature outside the vehicle can reach over 40 ℃, and the engine temperature is more likely to rise. Generally, the temperature at which the electronic fan of a vehicle starts is between 93 ℃ and 105 ℃, and the boiling point of antifreeze can reach over 108 ℃ (BAKHEET anti boiling antifreeze can reach over 125 ℃). If the antifreeze is used for too long or fails, the boiling point will decrease, and the bubbles generated will cause the water pipes of the vehicle to expand and rupture, the water tank to leak, the cylinder gasket to burn through and leak, etc., resulting in an increase in air conditioning temperature inside the vehicle and engine damage.
