Antifreeze and its applications
What is antifreeze?
Antifreeze is a colored liquid that mixes with water and helps in regulating the engine in extreme temperatures. and is pumped throughout the engine block to maintain a uniform operating temperature. In addition to temperature regulation, mitreh antifreeze is also effective in preventing corrosion. This substance is non-flammable and completely dissolved in water, and it lowers the freezing point of water so that the water in the engine does not freeze on cold days.
How does antifreeze protect the car engine?
In winter, all the water in different parts of the engine starts to freeze. As a result, water needs more space to increase its volume, but this space does not exist in places such as the cylinder head and engine block. Therefore, the amount of pressure will be so high that it will cause small and fragile cracks in the engine body and eventually cause the engine to die. It is worth mentioning that this issue causes the engine of the car to be completely destroyed, and to repair it, you have to pay an exorbitant amount of money. Therefore, antifreezes were invented to prevent water damage.
Antifreeze function
Ethylene glycol-based antifreeze is usually mixed 50/50 with water, poured into the engine tank and pumped through the car's engine to set and maintain the desired temperature in extreme hot and cold weather conditions.
Other uses of antifreeze
As antifreeze lowers the freezing point of water in order to prevent freezing, this substance is also used as an antifreeze because the above fluid also causes the boiling point of water to rise. In other words, as much as the freezing of the car causes the destruction of the car's engine, reaching the boiling point also causes damage to the engine.
Also, rising water temperature will cause corrosion of various engine parts and aluminum parts, so antifreeze can maintain the car engine as well as possible in hot days of the year.
Antifreezes will also improve the capacity of water heat transfer coefficient.
The property of antifreeze de-scaling causes that all the water path inside the engine is completely washed and removes the sediments. With this action, improved circulation causes better heat transfer.
Mitreh's antifreeze properties
It should be mentioned that Mitreh CS antifreeze produced in Abrizan company has anti-freezing, anti-boil, anti-foam, anti-sediment and anti-corrosion features.
What makes antifreezes different?
All coolant is made of ethylene glycol based chemicals and may be green, blue or pink in color. But the foundation of all of them is the same. The factor that makes the difference in antifreezes is the colorants and additives that are designed for the types of vehicles that have longer mileage.
How to use antifreeze
Antifreezes usually lose their properties after a while due to various reasons, so it is better to replace them completely every one year or even every two years. But it should be remembered that antifreeze should not be mixed with water at an abnormal percentage.
The higher the concentration of antifreeze compared to water, the more effective it is.
For this reason, it is better to pay attention to the label installed on the package and use the same amount of antifreeze in the car engine for correct use.
