So, the very first benefit of using an adequate antifreeze solution is overheating prevention. Overheating happens more often than you think, especially during hot summer days. When the summer heat hits, water tends to evaporate much, much faster from the cooling tank, and making up for lost water is a hassle. Technically speaking, if you got out of the vehicle every hour and poured new water into the tank, you wouldn’t need antifreeze or coolant. But, because that is extremely impractical, using antifreeze saves time and prevents overheating all at once. 2. Freezing Prevention It is feasible to use antifreeze in a static caravan’s central heating system, but the heaters should be operational or perfectly purged before doing so, especially if the central heating has been turned off for several weeks or months. In some situations, it is recommended that a glycol-based antifreeze be used for static caravan central heating and for the winterising of wastewater, with a mixture of 20 to 30 per cent glycol to ensure that the heating circuit is preserved.

Our goal was to create a non-toxic heat transfer fluid that overcomes the traditional limitations of a propylene glycol-water mix,’ says Michael Minard, ACTA’s chief executive, speaking at the 249th ACS National Meeting & Exposition in Denver, US. Adding metal oxide nanoparticles to the mixture reduces its viscosity, he explains. ‘One of the properties we see is shear-thinning which reduces the viscosity substantially.’The winter cold can be brutal in some areas, posing harmful repercussions that go unreported, such as the chance that the water in the heating pipes may freeze in the portions of pipes that are exposed to air. The static caravan’s complete heating system will be shut down if this happens. Antifreeze liquid should be used to heat static caravans that are left unoccupied for long periods. Antifreeze proteins refer to chemical compounds produced by certain animals, plants, and other organisms that prevent the formation of ice. In this way, these compounds allow their host organism to operate at temperatures well below the freezing point of water. Antifreeze proteins bind to small ice crystals to inhibit growth and recrystallization of ice that would otherwise be fatal.

The antifreeze is yellow-colored, and even though people like to mix the same colored antifreeze together, Ford specifically asked their customers not to do it in this case. This particular solution has a bittering agent which does not do well if mixed with non-adequate formulas.

Antifreeze, the difference between Ethylene Glycol and Propylene Glycol boils down to toxicity and performance efficiency. Ethylene glycol has considerably higher heat transmission capabilities, but propylene glycol is extremely safe. What Is The Purpose Of Ethylene Glycol Antifreeze? The main ingredient is propylene glycol, which is known to be far less toxic than ethylene glycol found in almost every coolant out there. This formula also has no phosphates and is biodegradable. The boiling point is raised to 256° F, and the freezing point is lowered to -26° F, which is considered suitable for every climate condition. Here is my honest opinion on homemade antifreeze. Don’t do it. I know that antifreeze in general is not great for people or the environment but it seems to be one of those necessary evils if you own a vehicle of any kind. The purpose of antifreeze is to lower the freezing point of water so your pipes, or engine, won’t expand until they burst and also to help prevent rust and corrosion. So, it’s pretty important to the overall well-being of whatever job it is serving. Here we have a concentrated pink antifreeze solution. It is an OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) designed to service Lexus, Toyota, and Scion vehicle models made from 2004 onwards. The coolant comes in pure form in a 1-gallon container. Propylene glycol is considerably less toxic than ethylene glycol. It can actually be labelled ‘non-toxic’. It is generally used where ethylene glycol would be inappropriate, such as food processing systems where accidental ingestion could happen.

Ethylene glycol has a bitter, sweet taste and causes inebriation. The toxic effects of ingesting ethylene glycol occur because it is converted by the liver into 4 other chemicals that are much more toxic. The lethal dose of pure ethylene glycol is 1.4 ml/kg (3 US fluid ounces (90ml) is lethal to a 140-pound (64kg) person) but is much less lethal if treated within an hour. [7] (see Ethylene glycol poisoning). These formulations can be sold as concentrate or as a dilution with water. A 50%:50% dilution, which gives a freezing point of approximately -37°C (-34.6°F), is typically used in the UK but in warmer or colder climates, weaker or stronger dilutions are used as necessary. A glycol-based antifreeze coolant is a universal type and the best anti-freezing and cooling solution in vehicle radiators. Using it alone, however, usually comes out with unfavorable results. It means you have to mix the glycol-based antifreeze with a certain amount of water to dilute it.

Not all RV systems fit extended living, especially the water system during winter, so you need safe drinking water systems that do not freeze during winter for your RVs, boats, pools, and vacation homes. And this RecPro’s winter-proof product is the one you need. It uses safe materials the Food and Drugs Administration (FDA) approves and considers non-toxic and non-hazardous. Unlike the boat antifreeze ethylene glycol with corrosive and caustic aspects, this safely fits your marine engines.
