  2. Antifreeze - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antifreeze

    Antifreeze was developed to overcome the shortcomings of water as a heat transfer fluid. On the other hand, if the engine coolant gets too hot, it might boil while inside the engine, causing voids (pockets of steam), leading to localized hot spots and the catastrophic failure of the engine. If plain water were to be used as an engine coolant in ...

  3. Ethylene glycol poisoning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethylene_glycol_poisoning

    Storing antifreeze in clearly marked original sealed containers, in areas that are inaccessible to pets [33] or small children. [34] Keeping pets and small children away from the area when draining the car radiator. [33] Disposing of used antifreeze only by taking to a service station. [34]

  4. Glycerol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glycerol

    Glycerol was historically used as an anti-freeze for automotive applications before being replaced by ethylene glycol, which has a lower freezing point. While the minimum freezing point of a glycerol-water mixture is higher than an ethylene glycol-water mixture, glycerol is not toxic and is being re-examined for use in automotive applications.

  5. Wax thermostatic element - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wax_thermostatic_element

    While the thermostat is closed, there is no flow of coolant in the radiator loop, and coolant water is instead redirected through the engine, allowing it to warm up rapidly while also avoiding hot spots. The thermostat stays closed until the coolant temperature reaches the nominal thermostat opening temperature.

  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. Internal combustion engine cooling - Wikipedia

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

    Only the fixed parts of the engine, such as the block and head, are cooled directly by the main coolant system. Moving parts such as the pistons, and to a lesser extent the crankshaft and connecting rods, must rely on the lubrication oil as a coolant, or to a very limited amount of conduction into the block and thence the main coolant. High ...
