The Need for a Cooling System

     
When the cooling system is refilled, use a 50/50 mixture of ethylene glycol antifreeze and water. This will give freezing protection down to -34 degrees Fahrenheit, and boiling protection to 265 degrees F.

 in a pressurized system with a 14-psi radiator cap. A 70/30 mixture will protect against freezing down to -84 degrees F. and boilover up to 276 degrees F. Do not use more than 70% antifreeze because antifreeze carries heat less efficiently than water. Straight water should never be used in the cooling system because it offers no boilover or freezing protection and no corrosion protection

(which extremely important today’s bimetal and aluminum engines).

 

 

 

Figure illustrated above describes the functioning of cooling system of an automobile. The key components used in a cooling system are pressure cap, heater hoses, thermostat, heater core, reserve tank, lower hose, transmission cooler, water pump, fan, radiator and upper house. The cooling system of a vehicle operates or functions by directing liquid coolant via passages in the engine block and heads. After that the liquid coolant which flows through passages absorb the heat from an engine. Then this fluid passes through a rubber hose to reach to the radiator. At this stage the hot liquid is cooled by air stream entering the engine compartment via grills. Once it gets cooled, then it goes back to engine and same process repeats again.

 

 

One of the most important parts of the cooling system is also the most invisible

 

 
The head gasket must maintain the seal around the combustion chamber at peak operating temperature and pressure. The gasket must seal against air, coolants, combustion and engine oil at their respective peak operating temperature and pressure. The materials used and design employed must be thermally and chemically resistant to the products of combustion and the various chemicals, coolants and oils used in the engine.

 

 

 

Solution:
The entire cooling system is first cleaned and then all debris and worn out coolant is completely removed from the system. Then, fresh new premium coolant is added. Conditioners are also included to prevent rust and corrosion and BG Universal Cooling System Sealer is also included to prevent leaks.
