TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of electric vehicle cooling liquid, and particularly relates to a long-acting corrosion-inhibiting electric vehicle cooling liquid and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the vigorous development of new energy, electric vehicles have ushered in a golden period of rapid development. Replacing fuel-driven with electric energy as a power source is an important direction of energy transformation, so electric vehicles are leading the transportation field towards a green and intelligent future. With the application of electric energy, the safety of the electric vehicle cooling system has become the focus of people's attention. This is because the traditional engine coolant for fuel vehicles generally uses inorganic salts or organic carboxylic acid additives for blending, and the electrical conductivity is usually above 2000 muS / cm. High conductivity liquid as a coolant can cause short circuit, short connection, high pressure arc and self-ignition disaster accidents when leakage occurs. Therefore, GB 29743.2 clearly stipulates that the electrical conductivity of the cooling liquid for electric vehicles should not be higher than 100 muS / cm, so the traditional fuel engine coolant cannot be directly used. Moreover, a large number of aluminum alloy parts are used in the electric vehicle cooling system, so under the condition that a large number of inorganic salt or organic carboxylic acid corrosion inhibitors cannot be introduced, how to prevent the metal corrosion problem of the cooling system has become the key research direction of the electric vehicle cooling liquid. SUMMARY

[0009] Further, the time for stirring and raising the temperature before dropping is 8-12 min, and the temperature is 38-42℃; After the addition is completed, the temperature is raised to 58-62℃, and the reaction is continuously stirred for 4.8-5.2 hours.
[0010] Further, the copper corrosion inhibitor is one or more of benzotriazole, methylbenzotriazole, thiadiazole; Preferably, the co-solvent comprises one or more of gelbert acid, n-octanoic acid, iso-nonyl acid; Preferably, the defoaming agent is polyether type defoaming agent L62; Preferably, the dye is a water-soluble fluorescent dye, more preferably a fruit green colorant.
[0011] Further, the deionized water is pure water obtained after ion filtration treatment, and the conductivity is required to be less than 1 μS / cm.
[0012] The preparation method of the long-acting corrosion-inhibiting electric vehicle coolant described above comprises the following steps: the pH regulator, the composite aluminum alloy corrosion inhibitor, and the copper corrosion inhibitor are added into deionized water, and stirred until uniformly dispersed into a slightly turbid solution; then the co-solvent is added dropwise until the solution becomes clear and transparent, and continues to be stirred; then the antifreeze agent is added, and the stirring is continued while the temperature is lowered to room temperature; then the defoaming agent and the dye are added, and stirred until uniform to obtain a clear and transparent long-acting corrosion-inhibiting electric vehicle coolant.
