Main functions of Coolant storage tank - SUMAC Auto Recycling Equipment Co.,Ltd

The main functions of Coolant storage tank are as follows:
① Storage and replenishment
The coolant storage tank stores a certain amount of coolant for the cooling system. When the vehicle is running, the coolant will be lost due to various reasons, such as normal evaporation, small system leaks, etc. The coolant in the storage tank can be replenished in time when the system liquid level drops to ensure that there is always enough coolant circulation in the cooling system to maintain the normal operating temperature of the engine.
② Pressure regulation
When the cooling system is working, the coolant temperature will change with the engine load. When the temperature rises, the coolant volume expands and the system pressure increases. At this time, the coolant storage tank can receive excess coolant or steam discharged from the radiator through the pipe connected to the radiator, release the system pressure, and prevent damage to the cooling system components due to excessive pressure, such as radiator rupture, water pipe joint leakage, etc. When the temperature drops, the coolant volume shrinks, and the coolant in the storage tank will flow back to the radiator to maintain the system pressure stable.
③ Liquid level monitoring
The coolant storage tank is usually made of transparent or translucent materials and has clear liquid level markings. This makes it easy for the driver or maintenance personnel to directly observe the coolant level and promptly detect abnormal levels so that they can take corresponding measures, such as checking leaks and adding coolant, to ensure the normal operation of the cooling system.
④Impurity precipitation and separation
During the circulation process, the coolant may carry some impurities, such as metal chips and scale. The coolant storage tank provides a space for these impurities to precipitate and separate, allowing the impurities to sink to the bottom of the tank under gravity, reducing the wear and blockage of other components of the cooling system by impurities and extending the service life of the cooling system.
