What is cavitation

What is cavitation, and why does it cause irreparable damage to the engine?

The crankshaft rotates horizontally when the piston moves vertically at a high frequency. These divergent motions cause strong vibrations in the surface structure of the engine cylinders. Although the external cylinder wall is surrounded by antifreeze, the flow inertia creates vacuum pockets. The resulting air bubbles explode, tearing out small pieces of metal.

About 40% of engine faults are due to cooling system problems.

Engine failures are manifested as follows:
🔺1) Sagging of piston rings;
🔺2) Piston wear;
🔺3) Burnout of valves;
🔺4) Corrosion of bearings;
🔺5) Destruction of the pump.

These failures are mainly caused by cavitation corrosion. So, a high-quality antifreeze with a special additives package is required to protect against cavitation corrosion.

The NORD antifreeze mixture contains a package of functional additives that neutralize the destructive cavitation by creating a protective layer on the cylinder or cooling channel wall. It also protects the engine pump impeller from the formation and contraction of bubbles appearing on the ends of the impeller blades by reducing the pressure while increasing the flow rate of antifreeze.

Use the antifreeze mixture «NORD» to ensure the safety of your car’s cooling system.
