Why is the coolant filter important?
1.40% of engine failures are caused by the cooling system, and the main culprit is often reduced maintenance. Modern diesel engines use a fully prepared premixed ethylene glycol based coolant, which contains a heavyweight additive package and deionized water for smooth operation. Therefore, if you want your engine to run trouble free, you should not mix the days in the coolant.
2.If maintenance is not carried out, the cooling system may be severely corroded, because it works in the harsh environment of high temperature, high speed and various metal parts. Therefore, it is very important to control the pH value of the coolant. Whether it is a simple coolant leak from a corroded radiator or a more expensive engine rebuild due to cylinder liner cavitation and corrosion, damage must be immediately controlled.
3.Regardless of the ambient temperature, most OEMs require 40 to 60 percent glycol based coolant throughout the year. 50% ethylene glycol/water solution will raise the boiling point from 100 ° C to 108 ° C and lower the freezing point from 0 ° C to - 37 ° C, thus providing excellent corrosion resistance.
4.The water filter is an important part of the coolant filtering system. With the water filter, people can easily notice that it is time to repair the cooling system. In addition, the water filter also checks the level and cleanliness of the corrosion inhibitor in the coolant to protect the water pump from wear.
What are the three most important factors to ensure the reliable operation of the cooling system?
1.Start cleaning/keep clean, use fully formulated premixed life coolant for the first filling and filling, and take correct maintenance measures.
2.Absorb, cycle and dissipate excess engine heat
3.Use water only where there is no risk of icing. In cold climates, use the minimum amount of ethylene glycol required to prevent icing, drain the coolant in summer months, and then replace it with water only
