Understand the purpose of using antifreeze in cranes

Thread Content

Antifreeze is required for the maintenance of cars, and it is also an essential fluid material for the maintenance of cranes. The most common function of antifreeze is to cool the engine and prevent the cooling water from freezing, but in fact it also has functions such as preventing corrosion, scale formation, and freezing. Corrosion resistance: Metals are highly prone to rusting or corrosion when exposed to air, and the cooling systems as well as engines of cranes are often made of metal materials. Using antifreeze for maintenance not only prevents corrosion of metals but also protects the engine from corrosion. Anti-freezing: The antifreeze used in cranes usually boils at 110–120 degrees, so even when the crane is operating under the scorching sun during hot summer days, the cooling water inside the engine does not reach its boiling point. The freezing point of antifreeze ranges from minus 40 degrees to minus 60 degrees, so it does not freeze even in cold winters. Scale prevention: Water in the tank tends to develop scale over time, and this scale, when it adheres to metal surfaces, can prevent effective heat dissipation. The antifreeze for cranes is made from distilled water; it does not form scale, and thanks to the scale-inhibiting additives contained in it, it also has the ability to remove scale.
