Electrical properties of engine cooling system antifreeze
Abstract
It can be shown that independently of the individual chemical compositions of coolants, they contain positively charged particles (ions). These are necessary to compensate for the negative charge of the metal surface due to the cathode and anode areas of corrosion in the engine cooling system. These particles can enter into a dense or diffuse part of the electrical double layer formed during the metal corrosion process.
