ENGINE COOLANT ANTIFREEZE LIQUID – CHEMTEX SPECIALITY LIMITED

 

Engine Coolant Antifreeze Liquid – Chemtex Speciality Limited




As the source of power for cars, engines get extremely hot. They produce an immense amount of heat of it requires one-third to and the rest if uncontrolled will destroy the engine, and must be expelled to prevent overheating and failures. Without proper protection, an engine can wear down and even melt, which can cost huge money to replace.



The first coolant was pure water.

Pure water freezes at 0°C and boils at 100°C. Outside of this range, water loses its functionality, turning into steam at one end and expanding as ice at the other. Both forms present a list of issues and cannot transfer heat effectively. To do the job properly, pure water was not enough and something was needed to be added.

Engine coolant antifreeze

Ethylene Glycol (EG) is one of the earliest antifreezes, circa 1856. It has a boiling point of 197°C and freezes at (-)13°C, allowing a wider range of functionality. By combining equal parts water and EG, the functional range of coolant expands to -36°C to 129°C while retaining the original heat transfer property.

How does a coolant work?

Engine coolant is used in conjunction with a liquid cooling system, made up of

·         Coolant pump which circulates the coolant throughout the system

·         The radiator assembly conducts heat away from the coolant

·         Radiator hoses connecting all the parts of the cooling system

·         Thermostat controlling the coolant temperature.

The coolant inside the cooling system improvises the cooling efficiency. When the engine is running, the coolant continuously circulates through the engine and returns through the radiator. Coolant is pumped through small channels in the engine block and absorbs the excess heat to control the engine temperature. When antifreeze liquid is diluted with water, it also helps lubricate the engine’s internal components.

Engine coolant antifreeze absorbs the heat from the engine and then disperses it into the air through the radiator. It also protects the engine from rusting, decreases the freezing temperature, and increasing the boiling temperature of the fluid that flows around the engine.

What is coolant made of?

Automotive coolants consist of a mixture of antifreeze with additive packages and water. These are designed to prevent corrosion and rusting.

The added inhibitors can be classified as Inorganic Acid Technology (IAT), Organic Acid Technology (OAT), or Hybrid Organic Acid Technology (HOAT).

An ideal coolant should provide:

·         Prevent freezing in cold temperatures

·         Remove corrosion and rust of metal parts in the cooling circuit and engine

·         Prevent the coolant from boiling in hot temperatures

Chemtex manufactures glycol-based coolant antifreeze liquid used as an alternative to water-based coolants. Chemtex engine coolants come in Tropical Car Coolant, and Extended Life Coolant (ELC).

These are inhibited with anti-corrosion, anti-scaling, and anti-microbial properties, protecting the engines from the adverse effects of extremely low and high temperatures. That protects your engines from cracking and increased pressure. They also prevent buildup of scale and sludge, and preventing radiator contamination and blockage.

Replacing Sodium Hypochlorite with Double Chain QAC based Disinfectant

Replacing Sodium Hypochlorite with Double Chain QAC based Disinfectant Remember that pungent smell when mass disinfection of public places occurs. That same irritating smell you can relate to in swimming pools, and your eyes itch and redden, and your skin itches, and there is a big board saying “Chlorine in pool”, that’s hypochlorous acid, viz., when sodium hypochlorite breaks down. Sodium hypochlorite/ Hypo (NaOCl) is inorganic chlorine based liquid disinfectant, available as aqueous solutions of 5.25% - 6.15% (household bleach) or concentrated 12% NaOCl solutions. Large quantities are also used as a disinfectant in water and wastewater treatment and sanitary equipment. In food processing, sodium hypochlorite is used to sanitize food preparation equipment, in fruit and vegetable processing, mushroom production, hog, beef and poultry production, and fish processing. Typical Uses of Hypo: ·       2%: Shock Chlorination of Wells · ...

Role of Polyelectrolytes in Wastewater Treatment

  Effluent Treatment or Industrial wastewater treatment consists of mechanisms and processes which are used to treat water that have been contaminated by anthropogenic, industrial or commercial activities prior to its release into the environment. Industrial wastewater serves as one of the important pollution sources that add up in polluting the water environment. The sewage sludge produced is subjected to sludge treatment. Many problems are associated with wastewater collection and treatment such as foaming, solid accumulation, high BOD, sludge de-watering, heavy metals and offensive odour.   But such treatments are no more complicated processes, since there are chemicals that are applicable for the treatment. These chemicals follow various treatment mechanisms in various different standards, which include from chemically treating raw wastewater before discharging it into the environment, to recovering valuable resources from sludge treatment and wastewater. Conventional tr...

The Role and Importance of Demulsifiers in Oil and Gas Industry

  Demulsifier helps to extract oil and purify water, which is especially important in crude oil production and wastewater treatment.   It is a substance that separates an emulsion into components and destabilizes water-in-oil emulsions. In Crude production, Water-in-oil emulsions are typically produced, owing to the presence of emulsifying agents such as surfactants, slits, fine solids, drilling mud, clay, water, and other impurities. These impurities are undesirable need to be removed which would otherwise shackle the quality of the crude.   How does It work? Demulsifier consists of two liquids that are not mixed with each other and tiny droplets of one liquid are evenly distributed throughout the volume of the other. This kind of liquid is called dispersion medium, and the droplets are called dispersed phase. During the demulsification process, a demulsifier accumulates on the surface of the droplets and groups them together.   The process of separating a...
