The importance of choosing a good coolant

We do not discover anything new if we tell you that the liquid coolant has the function of cooling the engine. But it is important remember it as it is a very important function. without good cooling your engine will run at excessive temperatures. And this will involve more than one visit to the workshop, with increased wear of the components of the drive system or major problems.

The different types of antifreeze fluid that are marketed will have more or less capacity to cool an engine depending on of its composition and that is why it is important to choose the right one.

One of the characteristics of these multicolored liquids is its resistance to freezing. A liquid that is frozen. That is why, in addition to having chemical additives to fulfill its refrigerant function, the liquid contains agents that lower its temperature of freezing well below 0 degrees.

Also, a good coolant will have a temperature of high boiling, above the temperatures reached by the engine, allowing it not to disintegrate or lose properties at high temperatures. It must also have anticorrosive and antifouling properties so that the deterioration of the components of the refrigeration system is not high. In the label you will see indicators on these characteristics, such as the PH, which indicates the metal-corrosive capacity of the liquid, the amount of inhibitors alkaline and the amount of residue it leaves behind.

Finally, a good liquid must have a low viscosity, that allows its free circulation through the refrigeration circuit, which is indicated in gr/cm2 in the product characteristics, and also be resistant to cavitation, forming less foam that could clog the circuit.

For some time now there have been models that They incorporate a secondary braking system, a system called a brake retarder. water or Aquatarder, which works without oil. These braking systems incorporated into the refrigeration circuit of the truck and used for its coolant operation.

This new system only has advantages: it saves from 6 to 12 liters of oil per truck, reduces weight, reduces fuel consumption and it is more ecological. In addition, it requires much less maintenance, provides a less wear of the brake pads, which last more kilometers, and with a 80% reduction in brake dust.

In a first classification we find the organic and inorganic. We recommend the organic ones since they have a much higher durability, higher freezing temperature and make less foam, protecting from cavitation in the circuit. Besides, you will contribute to the protection of the environment since these liquids organic refrigerants are biodegradable.

The temperature range in which a liquid works correctly will be the main characteristic that you must take into account when the time to choose. You should also make sure that the liquid complies with the regulations suitable for your truck. You will find this information in the vehicle manual.

It is recommended to replace the coolant every two years or every 40,000 kilometers, whichever comes first. from that moment the liquid loses anticorrosive and antifreeze properties.

Important! Never mix liquids of different characteristics as they could react with each other and cause serious problems in the refrigeration circuit, eventually clogging it.

In our online store you will find a wide range of dynamic products. In addition to antifreeze liquid you will find fats, oils, scale removers, hydraulic fluid and a long etcetera. All are high performance and high quality products, which will protect the different systems of your vehicles.

This Spanish brand, founded in 1947, was one of the first to manufacture exclusive chemical products for the automotive industry. In 1997 he became be part of another great brand with tradition in the sector, Brugarolas, one of the leading manufacturers of lubricants and industrial greases in Europe.

The flag is to be "quality guarantee" and maintain this thanks to its commitment to R&D. Innovation and development that allows them continue improving its products and creating new ones, to respond to the market needs.

This quality is also certified by the standards of ISO 9001 and ISO/TS 16949 quality, being the official manufacturer Dynamic brand for the PSA group (Peugeot and Citroën).

Without a doubt, by choosing their products you will be right and your truck and your pocket will thank you.
