Description

The main purpose of coolant is to manage the engine's temperature by transferring heat away from the engine. Here are the key functions of coolant:

1. Heat Transfer: Coolant absorbs the heat produced by the engine and circulates it to the radiator, where the heat is then released into the atmosphere.

2. Preventing Overheating: By maintaining a stable temperature, coolant ensures that the engine does not overheat, which could lead to severe damage like warping or seizing of engine components.

3. Freezing Protection: In colder climates, coolant prevents the engine from freezing by lowering the freezing point of the liquid in the cooling system, ensuring it remains fluid even in freezing temperatures.

4. Corrosion Prevention: Modern coolants contain corrosion inhibitors that protect the metal components in the engine and cooling system from rust and degradation.

5. Lubrication: Coolant helps lubricate the moving parts within the cooling system, such as the water pump, ensuring smooth operation and reducing wear and tear.
