PRELIMINARY INVESTIGATION OF THE TEMPERATURE-FLOW-CORROSION UNIT AS A TOOL FOR COOLANT EVALUATION

Abstract

The object of the study was to make a preliminary investigation of the Temperature-Flow-Corrosion Unit as a tool for the laboratory testing of automotive coolants. Nine 500 hour tests were conducted using antifreeze meeting Federal Specification 0-A-548a with and without added inhibitors. Results correlating those received in simulated service and glassware bench tests were obtained in three instances. Mechanical failure and improper functioning of electronic instruments minimized the use of values received in the other six tests. Results of the study indicate that the Temperature-Flow-Corrosion Unit has the capability of properly evaluating coolants and will serve as a valuable research tool in heat transfer studies.
