En los países expuestos a heladas invernales se agregan anticongelantes al agua del radiador para evitar que se hiele su contenido y estallen sus células. El alcohol puede utilizarse con dicho fin, pero tiene el inconveniente de evaporarse al subir la temperatura del agua. Por eso se usan preferentemente glicoles que, además de ser mucho menos evaporables, no son inflamables ni corrosivos. 3, record 1, Spanish, - anticongelante
