The Brussels Post, 1977-11-09, Page 28To achieve performance comparable with that offered by the "standard" car of the pa st, designers have had to make today's engines work harder. And when an engine works harder, it generates more heat. About a third of the heat produced by today's internal- combustion engine must be taken away from the engine block and transferred safely to the outer air. This is the function of the cooling system. Since engines work more efficiently and give more miles per gallon at higher rather than lower tempera- tures, designers have resorted to pressurized systems in which the radiator cap plays a major role. So, too, does the kind of coolant used to transfer heat from the engine to the radiator where it can be passed to the surrounding air. A coolant with ethylene glycol as its base not only protects the engine agaisnt freezing but against boiling too. In fact, what for years has been called "anti- freeze" now has to be an anti-surge, anti-foam, anti- steam , anti-corrosion, anti- boil "anti-freeze." If a 50-50 mixture of water and a reliable brand of coolant is used in a system pressurized to about 15 pounds per square inch, the boiling point is 'raised to about 265 F (about 1209°C) and the freezing is lowered to about 34°F (about 36'°C). Car care Council points out that the old idea of a "permanent collant is .obsolete. Certainly , a high- quality coolant mixed with water in that 50-50 ratio will continue to provide protection against freezing year after year. However, the higher engine temperatures of the modern car will break down the corrosion inhibitors in the coolant much more quickly than in past years. `Formula Z'means improved coverage and adhesion. "Formula. Z's" new amorphous molecular structure improves electro- chemical bonding and allows penetra- tion into microscopic crevices other sealants could never reach. `Formula Z'gives your car longer life. "Formula Z" greatly improves resis- tance to abrasion caused by sand and gravel on the un- derside , of your r"------- .--, , - car. `Formula Z'is self-healing. If a sharp object should succeed in penetrating the protec- tive layer, Ziebart's New "Formula Z" will actually heal itself; resealing the injured area.

This statement from Car Care Council is based on a study by a major manufac- turer of car coolants involving about 1200 cars. The results sltowed more than a third of the three-year -old models checked had products of corrosion in their coolants. The percentages were: One year old: 22%; two years old: 32%; three years old: 36%• . None of the cars checked was an "old" car. The same survey showed that, on average, nearly half the cars checked needed some kind of cooling-system service: One year old: 35%; two year old: 49%; three years old: 53% . What has been happening is a fairly simple story: the need for smaller more efficient cars has imposed a • need for smaller engines.
