It Turns Out That This Is The Impact If You Replace The Air Radiator Too Often With Ordinary Water

JAKARTA - Changing radiator water with tap water or mineral water is still mostly done by users of four-wheeled vehicles in Indonesia. This actually has a bad impact on the cooling system in a vehicle.

"Basically, water does have the best heat transfer in heat delivery. However, if the vehicle owner only uses tap water or minerals, of course there will be the potential for corrosion (karat) in the engine cooling system. For this reason, it is necessary to use a Coolant radiator that has anti-carat additives and glycol content in it," said PT Autochem Industry's Promotion Manager, Dhany Ekasaputra in his official statement such as being confiscated from Antara, Friday, May 19.

According to him, taking care of vehicles is not just checking the condition of lubricants. Because vehicles that are present in tropical countries such as Indonesia, owners also need to check the condition of the cooling liquid or radiator.

By diligently checking the radiator on the car, it will be able to minimize the occurrence of overheating which if left unchecked will cause many problems and also quite large costs.

He also explained that the glycol content needs to be properly worked out because Indonesia is a tropical country. Because the character of glycol is storing heat so that its role is very much needed for four seasons of countries not to freeze.

"But glycol can also increase the boiling point, although not much. For example, if there is a glycol concentrate of 50 percent, it will only be able to increase the boiling point to 105.9 degrees Celsius at 1 ATM pressure," he explained.

For this reason, his party presents Master Radiator Coolant products, which have been designed for tropical climates because they have a boiling point higher than pure water but the heat transfer remains optimal.

In addition, the radiator coolant product has also been given an additive to reduce the potential for carat appearance on the radiator. Because carat will have the opportunity to reduce the radiator's ability to release excessive heat while the engine is working.

"From the early stages in the form of raw materials, we have always chosen the best basic materials, including the MASTER Radiator Coolant which uses special water. Its content can keep PH (Potential Hydrogen) in a base condition (assam) so that it is effective in suppressing the formation of carat," he explained.

He also believes that the special formula contained in the Coolant Master Radiator product has passed various tests and the formulation process is carried out independently at the Autochem internal laboratory.
