Jäätymissuojaaine
Jäätymissuojaaine, also known as antifreeze or coolant, is a substance added to liquids to lower their freezing point and raise their boiling point. Its primary function is to prevent liquids from freezing in cold temperatures, which can cause damage to systems like car engines, plumbing, and solar panels. Conversely, it also helps to prevent overheating by increasing the boiling point of the liquid, allowing it to absorb and dissipate heat more effectively.
The most common type of jäätymissuojaaine is based on ethylene glycol or propylene glycol. These glycols are
Beyond glycols, other substances can act as jäätymissuojaaine, though they are less common in widespread industrial
