HOW IT HAPPENS |
WHAT IT CAN DO |
PREVENTION |
| Rust |
Oxidation within the system. |
Clogs the system. Accelerates the wear. |
The inhibitors in
INTER-JECT
PRODUCTS prevents the oxidation for rust to
occur. |
Scale
(Water Hardness) |
Present in all tap water are salt minerals,
especially calcium and magnesium. These minerals can solidify and adhere to
hot metal surfaces. |
Clog system passages. Deposit on high
temperature areas and reduce the heat transfer rate causing hot spots. This
results in uneven metal expansion, scuffing, scoring, accelerated ring wear
and, eventually, cracked heads and/or blocks. |
INTER-JECT PRODUCTS keeps salt
minerals in suspension so they cannot deposit on engine metal surfaces or
clog passages. |
Acidity
(pH) |
Ethylene glycol antifreeze reacts with oxygen
in the air and forms acid. A loose head gasket or other leakage can allow
sulfuric acids formed by the burning of fuel to leak into cooling system. |
Corrode iron, steel and aluminum. |
INTER-JECT PRODUCTS neutralizes
acids to prevent corrosion. Coolant pH should be 8.5 to 10.5. |
| Pitted Cylinder Liners |
Constant vibration of the cylinder liner
causes a momentary vacuum to form on its surface. Coolant boils into the
vacuum and vapor bubbles implode on the surfaces of the liner, digging into
unprotected liners. |
Causes pits which can extend over time,
through the thickness of the liner and allow coolant to enter the combustion
chamber or crankcase. |
INTER-JECT PRODUCTS coats the
liner with a thin film to protect it from erosion without impeding heat
transfer. |
Cavitations
(Foam) |
Foam - The aeration of coolant - occurs from
air leakage into the system. |
Adds to the cavitations erosion
problem, particularly in the areas of water pump impellers. |
INTER-JECT PRODUCTS has an
anti-foam agent to prevent formation of air bubbles. This foam prevention
agent is effective at all temperatures, even during startup. |
| Pitted Water Pump Impellers |
Flow rates and turbulence are high at the
impeller blade. This causes cavitations. In addition, there is a
possibility that abrasive particles are present in the system. |
Supplemental Coolant Additives Cause loss of
pump efficiency and total pump failure. |
INTER-JECT PRODUCTS
protect the impeller from cavitation
erosion and the filter holds particulate matter to reduce abrasive wear on
cooling system components. |
