Universal coolant

Coolant is considered essential for the proper operation of a vehicle’s engine. For this reason, it is important to drain the coolant system and to purge the used coolant. There are different types of coolant, including universal coolant. A universal coolant should protect the engine. This protection must be applied against temperatures above 100°C and against freezing at very low temperatures

COOLANT DRAINING MACHINES

Coolant plays an important role in the operation of an engine’s cooling system. The coolant has the characteristic of boiling only when it reaches a temperature of more than 100°C.

In addition, the coolant only freezes at very low temperatures. The primary role of the coolant is to maintain a constant engine temperature. This prevents the engine not only from overheating, but also from freezing.

In particular, the coolant carries the excess heat produced by the engine to the radiator. The engine cannot get rid of it on its own.

The coolant is also used to limit the possible risk of oxidation. It also stops scale deposits that build up in the cooling circuit.

BLEED OFF COOLANT

Coolant can degrade. It is therefore normal that the coolant circulating in the cooling system should be drained.

In general, it is advisable to replace it every 2 or 4 years according to the manufacturer’s recommendations or every 50,000 km.

It is possible to use a universal coolant that will fit the majority of vehicles on the market.

For draining, purging and replacing the coolant, it is advisable to use a machine such as Flash Cooling®. This type of machine will greatly reduce the time required for the replacement operation and will no longer be in direct contact with the coolant.
