There is one key difference: glass water is mainly used to clean car windows to remove dirt or stains on the glass surface, while antifreeze is used in the cooling system of the engine and has no other function related to cleaning and glass water. Likewise, glass water is not suitable as a coolant.
The basic functions that special car glass water should have:
A. It mainly has cleaning and decontamination functions.
B. Anti-fog and anti-freeze. Especially in cold weather it is very effective. It can ensure that the front windshield is clean and clear and the vision is clear, ensuring driving safety.
C. It has a certain antistatic function; when the substance adsorbed on the glass surface rubs against the wiper blade, a certain amount of "static electricity" may be generatedand glass water can effectively "remove" static electricity.
D. Lubrication function. Reduce the "friction" between the wiper blade and the front windshield, effectively preventing scratches.
E. It has certain anti-corrosion functions. During daily use, it is inevitable that the water sprayed on the glass will contact other parts of the car body, so it is necessary to have certain anti-corrosion functions.
Basic functions that a special antifreeze should have:
A. Cooling Function: This is the basic function that an antifreeze should have. When the engine is running, it generates a lot of heat, which is dissipated to the surrounding space by the cooling system. Antifreeze acts like a good fluid.
B. Anti-corrosion function: The cooling system includes water tanks, cylinders (covers), water pumps,water pipes and many other components. These components are essentially made of iron, steel, copper and tin. aluminum, cast iron and other metals. In a sense, antifreeze has a certain "corrosive" effect on these "substances" (due to the formula). Taking this into account, adding some special additives directly during production can effectively delay "damage" to various engine parts. From another point of view, it is also an effective "anti-corrosion" function.
C. Anti-scaling function: Scale in the cooling system comes from calcium and magnesium plasma, which easily react with certain substances in water to form scale. Therefore, the antifreeze liquid is based on softened deionized water as the raw material during the production process, which can effectively prevent or avoid the formation of a certain amount of scale.
D. FunctionAntifreeze ion: This is also the most basic function. When the temperature is low, it can ensure that the antifreeze fluid does not freeze, maintain the normal operation of the cooling system, and cool the operating engine. .
Based on the above, it can be seen that both are not suitable for general use and each has its own application parts or systems.
1. Antifreeze and glass water are different. The adding location is different, antifreeze is added into the car's water tank. A glass of water is added to the glass carafe. The functions of antifreeze are different. The functions of antifreeze are antifreeze and cooling. The purpose of the glass of water is to remove stains from the windshield. The components of antifreeze and glass water are different. The components of antifreeze are mainly ethylene glycol and other additives. The components of the glass of water are water,ethanol, etc.
2. Antifreeze is added to the water tank of the car. The car engine generates a large amount of heat during operation, and the water tank and the engine are connected by water pipes to complete the cycle to remove heat and reduce temperature, preventing the engine from overheating and damaging parts. If it is summer, neither the water nor the antifreeze will freeze in the water tank, but in winter, especially in the northern low temperature environment. The water in the water tank freezes easily and cannot cool the engine if it cannot circulate. Of course, this doesn't mean you can add tap water down south. Because there are many impurities in tap water, it is easy to block water pipes if used for a long time. Antifreeze uses pure water and certain other chemical additives to dissipate heat mores effectively.
3. Glass water is added to glass kettles. The ingredients of glass water are mainly composed of water, alcohol, ethylene glycol, corrosion inhibitors and other chemical components. The water spray motor sprays glass water on the car window, and then uses the wiper to clean the window, which can also reduce the friction between the window and the wiper. The corrosion inhibitor added to glass water can also protect and weaken glass corrosion by rainwater to a certain extent.
