The Function of Engine Coolant Fluid

The cooling system consists of several components, including the radiator, water pump, coolant fluid, thermostat, and more. The engine coolant fluid, also known as antifreeze fluid, is a heat transfer fluid that removes the excess heat from the engine. Some of the heat generated by the engine is expelled through the exhaust system, but there is a lot more heat that needs to be dissipated. When the engine is running, the coolant fluid circulates through the system absorbing the excess heat. The coolant fluid also protects from the freezing of the engine. There are different types of coolant fluids made from a blend of propylene glycol or ethylene with water. The engine fluid is contained in a reservoir next to the radiator.
