BASF Podcast: The Chemical Reporter - How do Engine Coolants Work?

LUDWIGSHAFEN, Germany, January 20 - Frozen water can be lots of fun. For example, if you have a pair of
skates, you can perform elegant moves on the surface of solid-phase H2O. Or
you can roll together the fluffy ice crystals that fall from the sky into a
snowman. But drivers like it less. They much prefer water in its liquid
phase. An internal combustion motor contains coolant - the liquid that
carries excess warmth away from the engine when it's burning fuel. And if the
coolant freezes when the temperature drops below zero degrees celsius, then
you have a serious problem. In entertaining episodes our Chemical Reporter
answers questions of our Podcast listeners on Chemistry in our everyday life.
