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.

Coolings systems require regular attention
The car owner who
neglects his cooling system is
more vulnerable than ever to
car trouble.
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.
