2. Ethylene glycol poisoning - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethylene_glycol_poisoning

   Long term outcomes may include kidney failure and brain damage. [1] Toxicity and death may occur after drinking even in a small amount [1] as ethylene glycol is more toxic than other diols. Ethylene glycol is a colorless, odorless, sweet liquid, commonly found in antifreeze. [1] It may be drunk accidentally or intentionally in a suicide attempt ...

3. Internal combustion engine cooling - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internal_combustion_engine...

   Air-cooled engines do not require coolant service, and do not suffer damage from freezing, two commonly cited advantages for air-cooled engines. However, coolant based on propylene glycol is liquid to −55 °C, colder than is encountered by many engines; shrinks slightly when it crystallizes, thus avoiding damage; and has a service life over ...

4. Car longevity - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Car_longevity

   Due in part to manufacturing improvements, such as tighter tolerances and better anti-corrosion coatings, in 2012 the typical car was estimated to last for 200,000 miles (320,000 km) [4] with the average car in 2024 lasting 160,545 miles according to the website Junk Car Reaper.

5. Radiator (engine cooling) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiator_(engine_cooling)

   A typical engine coolant radiator used in an automobile. Radiators are heat exchangers used for cooling internal combustion engines, mainly in automobiles but also in piston-engined aircraft, railway locomotives, motorcycles, stationary generating plants or any similar use of such an engine.

6. Ethylene glycol - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethylene_glycol

   Ethylene glycol (IUPAC name: ethane-1,2-diol) is an organic compound (a vicinal diol [7]) with the formula (CH 2 OH) 2.It is mainly used for two purposes: as a raw material in the manufacture of polyester fibers and for antifreeze formulations.

7. Oil cooling - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_cooling

   Coolant oil may be limited to cooling objects under approximately 200–300 °C, otherwise the oil may degrade and even leave ashy deposits. Pure water may evaporate or boil, but it cannot degrade, although it may become polluted and acidic. Water is generally available should coolant need to be added to the system, but oil may not be.

8. Coolant - Wikipedia

9. Antifreeze - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antifreeze

   An antifreeze mixture is used to achieve freezing-point depression for cold environments. Common antifreezes also increase the boiling point of the liquid, allowing higher coolant temperature. [1] However, all common antifreeze additives also have lower heat capacities than water, and do reduce water's ability to act as a coolant when added to ...
