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 else can I help you with?
What fluid do you put into car engine radiators?
antifreeze antifreeze a fifty fifty micture of water and antifrez is best
Why so people put antifreeze in car radiators?
antifreeze keeps your car from overheating, it flows thru your radiator hose, without it your motor would blow
Is antifreeze added to car radiators to lower the freezing point of water?
Yes. The antifreeze/coolant also raises the boiling point and has lubricant and anti corrosive properties.
When do you put antifreeze in your car?
All the time
Where is the antifreeze located on your car?
the antifreeze runs through all your water lines in your car . . . . you put it in your water tank or radiator
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.
What fluid do you put into car engine radiators along with anti freeze?
You mix it with water.
Can you put salt water in a car radiator?
No, it is not recommended to put salt water in a car radiator as it can lead to corrosion and damage to the radiator, water pump, and other components of the cooling system. It is best to use a coolant mixture of water and antifreeze specifically designed for car radiators.
What liquid is used in radiators?
In most vehicles, a mixture of water and antifreeze (ethylene glycol or propylene glycol) is used as the liquid in radiators. This mixture helps to regulate the temperature of the engine and prevent freezing or boiling over.
Which compound below can be used as the antifreeze in cars radiators by mixing with water?
Eethylene Glycol
Where should you put antifreeze in a car?
In the coolant reservoir when the engine is cool.
What happens if you put the wrong colour antifreeze in your car?
Nothing Nothing
