Coolant Hoses Replacement
Original English source. Consult suppliers for current product information.
Coolant, which is also known as antifreeze, is typically a mixture of water and ethylene glycol. Coolant both lowers the freezing point and raises the boiling point of fluids, which is essential to preserving an engine in both cold and hot climates.
In addition to managing the temperature of your car's engine, coolant also has corrosion inhibitors and lubricants mixed in. Corrosion inhibitors help protect the car's aluminum radiator because the coolant flows through electrochemically incompatible metals like iron and solder in the rest of the engine. Lubricants in the coolant helps maintain the seals in the water pump and hoses.
The coolant hoses are made of rubber and eventually wear out. When a coolant hose bursts, there is a huge explosion of steam from under the hood of the car or the engine simply dies. Either way, it's unpleasant and highly avoidable by changing the hoses before the fact.

冷却液,也称为防冻液,通常是由水和乙二醇组成的混合物。 冷却液既能降低液体的冰点,又能提高其沸点,这对于在寒冷和炎热气候下保护发动机至关重要。
除了调节发动机温度外,冷却液中还混合了防锈剂和润滑剂。 防腐剂有助于保护汽车的铝制散热器,因为冷却液会流经发动机中铁和焊料等电化学不相容的金属。 冷却液中的润滑剂有助于维持水泵和软管的密封性。
冷却液软管由橡胶制成,最终会磨损老化。 当冷却液软管爆裂时,车头下方会喷出大量蒸汽,或者发动机直接熄火。 无论哪种情况,这都令人不快,而且通过提前更换软管完全可以避免。
