I believe everyone has also seen and heard about car antifreeze. Compared with ordinary coolant, antifreeze can effectively prevent freezing when parking in cold areas. The antifreeze is divided into many categories according to the composition, including calcium chloride, ethylene glycol (the most common), glycerin, etc. Even the honey we usually eat with water can also be used as an antifreeze. It can prevent freezing in winter and boiling in summer. It can be used all year round, and it can also prevent corrosion and scale. It is simply "magazine".
Then, when the car prompts that the antifreeze is insufficient and cannot be refilled temporarily, it should stop as soon as possible in a safe condition, the engine is running at idle speed, and the engine compartment cover is opened to help dissipate heat in order to reduce the water temperature. And if the water temperature is normal, but the antifreeze alarm has been issued, you can continue driving, but you must always observe the water temperature during the driving process. At the same time, if possible, you should add the antifreeze in time to avoid "boiling" phenomenon.
In fact, many friends have asked this question, can you use tap water to replace the antifreeze in the water storage tank? If it is a short-term emergency use, it will not damage the device. But it won’t work if it is used for a long time, because long-term accumulation will cause scale to adhere to the surface of the water tank and water jacket, and the heat dissipation effect is getting worse and worse, and it is difficult to remove it. If it is in a relatively cold area, it is even more needless to say, because the tap water itself has no anti-freezing effect, and it is easy to cause the water tank to freeze.
