How to clean car radiator scale

Nowadays, as our economic conditions are getting better and better, every household has a private car. When driving a private car, we will use a water tank. The water tank is for the car to dissipate heat, but the maintenance of the water tank is also very important. If the water tank leaks, the heat dissipation function of the car will be poor and it will get hotter and hotter. Failure to clean it in time may cause the safety of the driver. So what are the methods for cleaning car water tank scale?

The function of a car's radiator is to dissipate heat. Because of some reasons such as water use, scale will often appear in the water tank. If it is not removed in time, it will affect the heat dissipation, so it must be cleaned in time.

The thermal conductivity of scale is very low, only 1/25 of cast iron and 1/50 of brass. The scale formed in the cylinder lining and cylinder head water channels causes the temperature of local areas to rise due to poor heat dissipation, which can cause cracks in weak parts of the engine and deformation of the cylinder head. It not only makes the cooling system's heat dissipation performance worse, causing local high-temperature areas, worsening lubrication conditions, increasing engine temperature, and accelerating engine system wear; it also blocks radiator pipes or cooling system pipelines, greatly reducing heat transfer efficiency and causing engine overheating, directly endangering the driver's safety.

Manual cleaning

The car water tank needs to be disassembled and the scale removed by scraping or shoveling. Although this can remove the scale, it is inefficient, labor-intensive, difficult to remove, and can easily cause secondary damage to the water tank.

Scale cleaning agent

The water tank needs to be disassembled. Incomplete cleaning will cause a strong odor and strong corrosiveness, which will easily cause the water tank to age and shorten its service life.

Professional car radiator descaling agent

Directly pour the special scale cleaning agent into the car's water circulation system, let it soak, idling cycle or drive for 20-30 minutes, then drain the descaling agent inside the water tank and the system, add water and rinse repeatedly to effectively remove scale, rust, mud and various harmful substances in the engine's water circulation system.

Although there are ways to clean scale, car owners still need to pay attention to reducing the formation of scale and use antifreeze. Especially now that summer is approaching, do not use ordinary water instead of antifreeze. In addition to antifreeze, antifreeze can also reduce the occurrence of boiling in the water tank. If ordinary water is used, not only boiling cannot be avoided, but the minerals in the water will also accelerate the formation of scale.

In order to ensure our own safety, it is recommended that we must clean the scale regularly and in a certain amount to avoid poor heat dissipation function of the water tank due to too much scale in the water tank. This will not only cause safety problems for the driver, but also easily cause many adverse hazards to the car, affecting our personal safety.
