Salt will turn back into a solid where there is any air in the system. This will block the radiator or any other part of the system that contains air. The Heating system is the most likely to become clogged by salt deposited due to being the highest point of the system and most likely to contain air. The radiator system and thermostat are at risk if the salt is too concentrated these are narrow areas of flow which can trap salt as it solidifies. Apart from that it will rust the system and the radiator will crumble in a short time.

What liquid is used in radiators?
Antifreeze/Coolant
What liquids are used in radiators?
Water and antifreeze mixture. The antifreeze has additives that help prevent corrosion.
What is antifreeze?
Antifreeze is a substance such as glycol which is used to lower the freezing point of water, and is used as an additive in the radiators of motorcars.
Which material is used to make heating radiators from?
Steel :)
Why does your cat lick radiators?
Stop your cat from licking radiators IMMEDIATELY!!! Antifreeze used in radiators is not just poisonous, but deadly to cats even in small amounts. Unfortunately antifreeze also taste great to them. Please stop your cat immediately and consult a vet.
Which compound below can be used as the antifreeze in cars radiators by mixing with water?
Eethylene Glycol
Why is antifreeze put into car radiators?
So that the water used as coolant in most car radiators does not freeze overnight. If it does then, because ice expands as it freezes and melts, it can crack the engine block. The antifreeze lowers the freezing point of the coolant and reduces the risk. The more antifreeze, the less risk of freezing. But too much and it will boil when the car is running. Additives in antifreeze also reduces corrosion and raises the boiling point.
What is used as a Antifreeze in cars radiators?
Most commonly it is a mixture of ethylene glycol. Each manufacturer uses their own dyes and anti-rust additives to the recipe.
Which compound can be used as the antifreeze in cars radiators by mixing with water?
Any substance that lowers the freezing point of water such as ethylene glycol or propylene glycol which are commonly added to water
Why is silver not used in central heating radiators?
Silver is a valuable metal, and is thus not used in radiators.
Is distilled water good for car radiators?
Distilled water IS good for radiators. In fact, manufacturers recommend using nothing but distilled water to mix with antifreeze. Tap water contains minerals, which can promote corrosion. So tap water should be used in a cooling system only in case of an emergency.
What salt is used in antifreeze to melt ice?
High density liquid calcium chloride from Ward Chemical.
