Q
can i use water as engine coolant
I'm a seasoned industrial engineer with a keen interest in machine learning. Here to share insights on latest industry trends.
Water can be used as an engine coolant in some circumstances due to its high heat capacity and efficient heat transfer properties. However, it lacks corrosion inhibitors and can freeze at 0°C (32°F), risking engine block damage. Modern engines are designed for specific coolant mixtures that protect against corrosion, scale, and have a lower freezing point than pure water. For short-term or emergency use, water might suffice, but it's not recommended for prolonged periods. Always prefer a manufacturer-recommended coolant mixture for optimal engine performance and longevity. This approach prevents potential damage and maintains the engine's cooling system effectively.
