Changing the coolant

People probably don’t know this, but a vehicle’s cooling system is going to rely heavily on a coolant. It has to be of good quality and in good working order. Although there are currently universal coolants and those specific to car technologies. Still, the importance of coolant should be noted.

THE ADVANTAGES OF AUTOMOTIVE ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY

The engine is the element that makes a vehicle run, in order for the engine to do its job, coolant must circulate through the cooling system. The importance of coolant is emphasized several times.

But how do you drain that coolant? Motorists can do it manually or simply use a draining machine such as Flash Cooling®. This is the type of machine that makes it possible to drain the cooling system, but also to check the tightness more easily. It also makes it easier to recycle used coolant.

During the operation, the machine creates a vacuum in the cooling circuit and then fills it up by vacuum. Speaking of this replacement operation, it is no longer necessary to perform numerous manoeuvres as with the old methods, the use of the machine is simple. Just connect it directly to the expansion tank and the purging starts.

THE COOLANT AND COOLING SYSTEM OF A CAR

Changing the coolant is not only simple but also quick. Unlike in the past, when it used to take hours to change the coolant, with the machine it only takes about ten minutes to complete the operation. Of course, before changing the coolant, the coolant in a vehicle’s cooling system must be checked. This is generally done every 50,000 kilometres or every 2 or 4 years depending on the manufacturer. If this check is not done or if the oil change is not done in time, problems can occur such as reduced engine performance, corrosion of the driving parts can occur. Draining is of primary importance.
