Car water tank.
The car water tank is also called the radiator, the coolant flows in the radiator core, and the air passes outside the radiator core. The hot coolant cools because it dissipates heat to the air, and the cold air heats up because it absorbs the heat emitted by the coolant, so the radiator is a heat exchanger.
The hose of the engine radiator will be aging for a long time to use, easy to break, water is easy to enter the radiator, the hose is broken in the process of driving, the high temperature water splashing out will form a large group of water vapor from under the engine cover, when this phenomenon occurs, you should immediately choose a safe place to stop, and then take emergency measures to solve.
Under normal circumstances, when the radiator is flooded, the joint of the hose is most likely to have a crack and water leakage, then you can use scissors to cut off the damaged part, and then the hose is re-inserted into the radiator inlet joint, and the clamp or wire clamp. If the leak is in the middle of the hose, wrap the leak with tape. Clean the hose before wrapping. After the leak is dry, wrap the tape around the leak of the hose. If you do not have tape on hand, you can also wrap plastic paper around the tear first, and then cut the old cloth into strips and wrap it around the hose. Sometimes the hose crack is large, and it may still leak after entanglement, then the tank cover can be opened to reduce the pressure in the waterway and reduce leakage.
After taking the above measures, the engine speed can not be too fast, to try to hang high-grade driving, driving also pay attention to the pointer position of the water temperature meter, found that the water temperature is too high to stop cooling or add cooling water.
How to solve the car water tank leakage
The problem of car water tank leakage can be solved in a variety of ways, depending on the severity and cause of the leakage. First of all, check that the tank cover is tight, which is the simplest inspection step. If the lid is not tightened, it should be re-tightened to solve the problem.
For slight water leakage, such as cracks of no more than 1mm or holes of 2mm, you can try to add the water tank strong plugging agent to the water tank, and then start the car to run, so that the plugging agent reaches the water leak with the water circulation and stops leaking. If there is no plugging agent, in the case of slight water leakage of individual heat pipes, you can temporarily put tobacco or cotton balls using soap to plug the water leak.
If the water leakage is serious, such as rubber pipe joints or heat dissipation pipes are broken, the damaged parts should be replaced in time or temporary measures such as tape should be used to reduce the water leakage, and the repair shop for professional treatment as soon as possible.
In daily use, the water tank condition of the vehicle should be checked regularly to avoid problems caused by a long time without inspection or bumps during driving. If you encounter a water tank leakage problem, it is not recommended to continue driving for a long time to avoid further damage to the engine.
Regarding repair costs, the exact cost will vary depending on the cause of the leak, the model of the vehicle, and the repair shop's charges. It is recommended to consult a nearby auto repair shop for an accurate quote.
For whether to replace or repair, if the water leakage is serious or frequent, it is recommended to replace the new water tank to ensure driving safety. If the leak is minor and only occurs occasionally, consider patching to save costs.
How to clean the car water tank
The method of cleaning the car water tank mainly includes the use of professional car water tank descaling agent, manual cleaning and scale cleaning agent. It is recommended to use professional car water tank descaling agent, because it does not need to disassemble the tank, you can directly pour the special scale cleaning agent into the car water circulation system, let the engine idle cycle or after 20-30 minutes of driving, discharge the descaling agent inside the tank and system, and then rinse it with water repeatedly. This can effectively remove scale, rust, mud and various harmful substances in the engine water circulation system.
Although manual cleaning can remove scale, it is low efficiency, high labor intensity, difficult to clean, and easy to cause secondary damage to the water tank. The use of ordinary scale cleaning agent needs to disassemble the water tank, the removal is not thorough, the odor is large, the corrosion is strong, and it is easy to cause the aging of the water tank and shorten its service life.
The use of professional car water tank descaling agent is simple and convenient, it can not only protect the cooling system, but also neutralize acidic substances, remove scale at the same time, but also remove rust, sediment and other impurities in the water tank, compatible with various types of antifreeze and coolant.
The frequency of cleaning the car water tank is recommended at least once a year to maintain the best performance of the car radiator and extend its service life.
