Most automotive engines are "water"-cooled to remove waste heat, though the "water" used is actually a mixture of water and antifreeze. The term engine coolant is widely used in the automotive industry, which covers its primary function of convective heat transfer for internal combustion engines. When used in an automotive context, corrosion inhibitors are added to help protect vehicles''
READ MOREEthylene glycol (IUPAC name: ethane-1,2-diol) is an organic compound (a vicinal diol) with the formula (CH 2 OH) 2 is mainly used for two purposes: as a raw material in the manufacture of polyester fibers and for antifreeze formulations. It is an odorless, colorless, flammable, viscous liquid.

The first instance occurred in 2013, when Ford announced that certain Edge models had defects that could potentially cause coolant leaks.
READ MOREThe history of cooling towers dates back to the 19th century, when they were first developed as condensers for steam engines. The first cooling towers were simple structures, consisting of a tower with a water spray system and a fan to draw air through the tower. As the demand for cooling towers grew, so did the complexity of their design.
READ MOREIn order to avoid the severe engine damage that can occur as a direct result of frozen coolant, automakers and engineers turned to the concept of antifreeze. Rather than a single substance, an antifreeze is
READ MOREA second coolant temperature sensor could be installed in another part of the engine, or in the radiator. Some cars use a cylinder head temperature or CHT sensor instead of, or in addition to the ECT sensor. The CHT sensor (see the photo) works the same way, but it measures the temperature of the cylinder head metal and is not

Antifreezes, such as ethylene glycol or propylene glycol, commonly added to water in automobile cooling systems prevent damage to radiators. Additives to prevent freezing of water in gasoline (e.g., Drygas) usually
READ MOREThermostat. -Any liquid-cooled car engine has a small device called the thermostat that sits between the engineand the radiator. The thermostat in most cars is about 2 inches (5 cm) in diameter. Its job is to block the flow of coolant to the radiator until the engine has warmed up. When the engine is cold, no coolant flows through the engine.

READ MOREThe fascinating history of antifreeze began in Paris during the Napoleonic era: 1856: French chemist Charles-Adolphe Wurtz develops ethylene glycol, a substance with a lower freezing point and higher boiling point than water. It also has a low viscosity, which makes it easy to pump and transmit through lines.
READ MOREA coolant is a substance, typically liquid, that is used to reduce or regulate the temperature of a system. An ideal coolant has high thermal capacity, low viscosity, is low-cost, non-toxic, chemically inert and neither causes nor promotes corrosion of the cooling system. Some applications also require the coolant to be an electrical insulator.. While the term
