Which cooling liquid is commonly used in DTNA Base Engines?

The mixture of water and ethylene glycol is commonly used as the cooling liquid in DTNA Base Engines because it offers an optimal balance of thermal efficiency and protection against freezing or boiling. Ethylene glycol raises the boiling point and lowers the freezing point of the coolant, which helps prevent engine overheating and freezing, even in extreme temperatures. Additionally, this mixture helps to protect the engine components from corrosion and scale buildup, enhancing the overall durability and performance of the engine.

Using pure water alone is not advisable, as it can boil at a lower temperature and freeze in cold conditions, leading to potential engine damage. An oil and water mixture is typically not used in cooling systems due to the incompatibility and detrimental effects it could have on engine parts and performance. While antifreeze is essential, it is not used on its own but rather as part of a mixture with water to achieve the desired properties for effective engine cooling. Thus, the combination of water and ethylene glycol is a standard choice in automotive applications like those in DTNA Base Engines.
