| 词条 | Waterless coolant |
| 释义 |
Automotive useWaterless coolant is most prominently used in the cooling systems for motorsports, classic car, ATVs, UTVs, snowmobiles and older cars.[4] Older cars often have nonpressurized cooling systems, and the coolant can boil and overflow. Traditionally, this issue has been solved by topping off the radiator with water. This dilutes the coolant and the water can contain minerals harmful to the vehicle. Classic car owners have adopted waterless coolant to solve this problem. Jay Leno uses waterless coolant for his replica 1937 Bugatti Type 57SC Atlantic vehicle.[5] Other usesUniversity of California, Los Angeles used waterless engine coolants in its backup generators in part to reduce labor costs because traditional water and ethylene glycol-based coolants typically need replacing every three years. Waterless coolant lasts the life of the engine, and there is no need to have that system pressurized, which has shown to reduce stress on the cooling system plumbing.[6] Waterless coolant has been used to reduce fuel usage by limiting the amount of time the radiator fan needs to be on. Waste management departments have used waterless coolant for their fans to save on fuel costs.[6]Primary agentsWaterless coolant is glycol-based. The liquid avoids corrosion while the additives remain soluble.[3] Freeze pointWaterless coolant acts as an antifreeze, protecting engines to -40 degrees F.[5] DisadvantagesWaterless coolant is generally more expensive than traditional water and ethylene glycol-based coolants.[7] References1. ^{{cite web|last=Abelson |first=Paul |url= http://www.landlinemag.com/magazine/2012/oct/Section4/maintenance.aspx|title= Cooling without water?|publisher= Land Line Magazine|date= October 2012|accessdate=April 2, 2018}} 2. ^{{cite web|last=Sturgess |first=Steve |url= http://www.truckinginfo.com/channel/maintenance/article/story/2009/08/column-keep-your-cool.aspx |title= Column: Keep Your Cool |publisher= Heavy Duty Trucking|date= August 2009 |accessdate=April 2, 2018}} 3. ^1 {{cite web|last=Ingram |first=Anthony |url= https://www.greencarreports.com/news/1071361_waterless-coolant-improves-engine-life-boosts-mpg-10-percent|title= Waterless Coolant Improves Engine Life, Boosts MPG 10 Percent |publisher= Green Car Reports|date= January 5, 2012|accessdate=April 2, 2018}} 4. ^{{cite web|last=Staff |first=Cycle News |url= http://www.cyclenews.com/2018/01/article/evans-powersports-waterless-coolant/|title= Evans Waterless Powersports engine coolant is ready to use, no water required. |publisher= Cycle News Staff|date= January 20, 2018|accessdate=April 2, 2018}} 5. ^1 {{cite web|last=Leno |first=Jay|url= https://www.popularmechanics.com/cars/a8539/how-to-keep-classic-cars-road-ready-14849542/|title= How to Keep Classic Cars Road-Ready. |publisher= Popular Mechanics|date= December 13, 2012|accessdate=April 2, 2018}} 6. ^1 {{cite web|last=Ritchie |first=Ed|url= https://foresternetwork.com/daily/energy/efficiency-state-of-mind/|title= Efficiency State of Mind. |publisher= Forester Daily News|date= November 1, 2010|accessdate=April 2, 2018}} 7. ^{{cite web|last=Chandler |first=Charles|url= http://www.aviationpros.com/article/10372135/recip-technology-waterless-engine-coolants|title= Recip Technology: Waterless Engine Coolants. |publisher= Aviation Pros|date= March 11, 2010|accessdate=April 2, 2018}} 3 : Coolants|Engine cooling systems|Cooling technology |
