I BELIEVE that STRAIGHT ethylene glycol antifreeze freezes at ( 7 * Fahrenheit )
Yes. The water circulates the heat and the anti-freeze changes the freezing point. Use a proper mixture.
Antifreeze is supposed to be mixed with preferably distilled water 50 / 50 in a vehicle ( do not exceed 60 % antifreeze in the mix ) Straight antifreeze will freeze around ( 7 ) degrees Fahrenheit , I believe
antifreeze is ethylene glycol.
Antifreeze is designed to be mixed with preferably distilled water A 50 / 50 mix will freeze at ( around -35 * Fahrenheit ) where I BELIEVE straight antifreeze will freeze at 7 * Fahrenheit Ford vehicles come from the factory with a 50 / 50 mix and Ford states to NOT EXCEED 60 % antifreeze in their vehicles
Yes. The water circulates the heat and the anti-freeze changes the freezing point. Use a proper mixture.
Depending on the kind of antifreeze it is, it will freeze at different temperatures. If it is strait antifreeze it will not freeze until very cold temperatures, but if it is 50/50 or if you add water to it, it will have a higher freezing point.
"Antifreeze" contains 3 syllables: an-ti-freeze. boomp-boomp-boomp . . . an ti freeze.
You want to use a 50/50 mixture of water and antifreeze, but use the manufacture recommended antifreeze, it comes straight anti freeze in which case you would mix a gallon of antifreeze to a gallon of water or you can buy a pre mixed container of antifreeze if your just trying to top off
I BELIEVE straight antifreeze will freeze at 7 degrees Fahrenheit but a 50 / 50 mix is good to around -34 degrees Fahrenheit ( antifreeze and preferably distilled water ) Also , the engine sensors for the engine coolant temperature won't work properly
Actually, antifreeze will freeze. It just freezes at a much lower temperature than ordinary water. But it can freeze, and the chemical structure of antifreeze is such that the molecules will not change state (liquid to solid -- freeze) except at the very lowest temperatures. A lot of thermal energy must be removed from antifreeze to cause the molecules to "hook up" and the stuff to change state into a solid. It's based on the nature of the chemical structure of antifreeze.
If your use anything more concentrated than about half anitfreeze and half water, the radiator water will freeze at a considerably warmer temperature. There will be less protection. Also, antifreeze actually helps keep your car running cooler in summer. If you use straight antifreeze, the car will "boil over" at a much lower temperature. There will be less protection.
