An Ideal Coolant Antifreeze for Car Cooling Systems

The coldest months are here and is a good time to review some best practices for vehicle care. Unlike pure water, the best coolant operates beyond 0°C and 100°C, important for the smooth functioning of a vehicle, helping maintain operating temperature and efficiency.

How does coolant work?

Engine coolant antifreeze absorbs the heat from the engine and then disperses it into the air through the radiator. It also protects the engine from rusting, decreases the freezing temperature, and increases the boiling temperature of the fluid that flows around the engine.

Engine coolant is used in conjunction with a liquid cooling system, made up of

• Coolant pump which circulates the coolant throughout the system
• The radiator assembly conducts heat away from the coolant
• Radiator hoses connecting all the parts of the cooling system
• Thermostat controlling the coolant temperature.

The coolant inside the cooling system improvises the cooling efficiency. When the engine is running, the coolant continuously circulates through the engine and returns through the radiator. Coolant is pumped through small channels in the engine block and absorbs the excess heat to control the engine temperature. When antifreeze liquid is diluted with water, it also helps lubricate the engine’s internal components.

What is Coolant made of?

Ethylene Glycol (EG) is one of the earliest antifreeze, since 1856. It has a boiling point of 197°C and freezes at (-)13°C, allowing a wider range of functionality. By combining equal parts water and EG, the functional range of coolant expands from -36°C to 129°C while retaining the original heat transfer property.

Automotive coolants consist of a mixture of antifreeze with additive packages and water. These are designed to prevent corrosion and rust.

The added inhibitors can be classified as Inorganic Acid Technology (IAT), Organic Acid Technology (OAT), or Hybrid Organic Acid Technology (HOAT).

An ideal coolant should provide:

• Prevent freezing in cold temperatures
• Remove corrosion and rust of metal parts in the cooling circuit and engine
• Prevent the coolant from boiling in hot temperatures
