Keep Everything Cool with Evans Cooling Waterless Engine Coolant
Engine coolant that doesn’t contain water? Sounds like magic, but Evans Cooling used basic science to create its Waterless Engine Coolant.
Water does a good job of cooling off people, but it’s not so great for cooling your engine. The boiling point of water-based coolant is somewhat above the boiling point of water. Hotspots within the cooling system can lead to localized boiling, generating water vapor (steam). When water turns to steam it pressurizes the cooling system, putting stress on hoses and other components. Water vapor is also a very poor conductor of heat. Hot engine metal, insulated by water vapor, becomes a hot spot that can cause pre-ignition and detonation.
What’s more, the oxygen in water causes corrosion and allows electrolytic activity, which damages metal parts. Look inside an old, neglected radiator and you’ll see what we’re talking about.
y eliminating the water, Evans Waterless Engine Coolant eliminates overheating, boil-over, and after-boil. It has a boiling point of over 375°F, far above the operating temperature of the engine. That high boiling point ensures the coolant will not vaporize. Liquid coolant is in contact with the engine water jackets at all times, providing excellent heat transfer away from the hot metal. No water also means no corrosion problems either.
Evans Waterless Engine Coolant offers protection to temperatures as low as -40 degrees F. It has a specially-formulated inhibitor package designed for all gasoline, light-duty diesel, LP, and CNG engines. It contains no silicates or phosphates, and requires no supplemental coolant additive. Summit Racing also carries Evans Waterless Engine Coolant formulations for powersports vehicles, heavy-duty trucks and equipment, and racing series that allow propylene-based coolant.
Water and Waterless Engine Coolant don’t mix well. If you are replacing water-based coolant with Evans, you must flush all of the old coolant out of the system and the engine block. Then, use Evans Prep Fluid to remove any residual water after draining the cooling system.
