Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of engine coolant testing technology, specifically to an engine coolant freezing point testing device. Background Technology
[0002] Engine coolant, commonly known as automotive antifreeze, is an essential cooling and heat dissipation medium for the engine cooling system. The freezing point of engine coolant is an important indicator. In order to prevent the water tank and engine block from cracking due to the engine coolant freezing in winter, freezing point tests of engine coolant are required in different regions.
[0003] Currently, existing engine coolant freezing point detection devices, when agitating the coolant to accelerate its cooling, are prone to creating eddy current dead zones due to their existing agitation structures (such as vertical linear motion agitation), leading to coolant component stratification. Furthermore, traditional agitator blade designs easily entrap air, forming bubbles larger than 1mm in diameter (comprising more than 5%), which affects the accuracy of refractive index measurements.
[0004] Therefore, we made improvements and proposed an engine coolant freezing point detection device. Utility Model Content
