Engine coolant or
coolant
is an important component in the vehicle’s working system, especially cars that are used every day.Even though it is often considered trivial, the role of this coolant is very large in maintaining engine performance and service life.
In fact, the engine performance will be heavier in a daily car than in a vehicle that is usually used for racing.To prevent undesirable things, use
coolant
the right one is highly recommended.

Henry Sada, President Director of PT Autochem Industry (AI), as distributor of Master Radiator Coolant, explained that the racing environment is indeed challenging, so a radiator fluid is needed that is not only able to maintain ideal engine working temperature, but is also ‘resilient’ during the overtaking action.
However, conditions that are no less severe are also experienced in the daily driving environment, and are even considered more difficult.

The reason is, the car will face the situation
stop and go
which is difficult for the engine cooling system because there is no fresh air blowing from the front.
The engine depends entirely on the radiator
coolant
to release heat when the car stops more in the middle of congested, dusty roads and the surrounding temperature is high.
Then to choose
coolant
correctly, he said it was recommended to use radiator fluid with
heat transfer
optimal.
“So that the process of releasing engine heat in the radiator can maintain ideal working temperatures,” said Henry in a written statement, quoted Friday (19/12).
Apart from that, he said, the fluid must be equipped with anti-corrosion additives so that it is safer for the vehicle engine cooling system.Where possible, coolants have been designed for various engine technologies, such as variable valve and turbo
intercooler
.
For example, in the Master Radiator Coolant product, their fluid has been designed for tropical climates.Then, organic materials have also been applied with a positive impact, namely minimal evaporation, which means increasing the shelf life
coolant
longer.
That way, this fluid can extend the service life of the radiator and its supporting components.
“Master Radiator Coolant is the answer to the need for radiator fluid that is suitable for the tropical climate in Indonesia,” said Chris Sada, Finance Director AI.
Do not use AC water
Recommendations for use
coolant
breaks the assumption that car radiators can be filled using AC water.In fact, this is not the case, because filling the radiator with water carelessly can actually damage the components.
The explanation is that when the engine is running, the movement of its internal components produces heat which over time increases the temperature to very high levels.
Excessive high temperature aka
overheating
on the engine has a negative impact on reducing performance.To overcome this, the radiator, which produces cold temperatures, plays a role in keeping the engine temperature in the optimal position.
The transfer of hot temperatures to cold and vice versa is carried out by using radiators
coolant
which circulates.Hot coolant from the engine area enters the radiator which lowers the temperature.
Coolant
The low temperature is then circulated back to the engine area to help with cooling.
Based on this function
coolant
requires special specifications, one of which is heat resistance above 100 degrees Celsius.If the radiator is filled with ordinary water, whose boiling point is around 100 degrees Celsius, it can hinder the engine cooling process.
Apart from making the machine fast
overheating
, the use of water also has other negative impacts such as corrosion due to evaporation.Meanwhile
coolant
contains anti-rust substances.
