Fleetguard® Coolant

The necessity of coolants in filtration

Coolant filtration engine coolants have a simple role – to remove and transfer heat generated in an engine into the cooling system.

Coolant filtration is necessary as the coolant absorbs engine component heat and is then circulated through the cooling system.

Combustion in an engine can result in temperatures greater than 3 100 °C, with the cooling system and cooling filtration removing most of the heat.

As the function of a cooling system is to absorb unwanted engine heat, dissipate heat away from the engine and provide protection for components, the coolant in these systems circulate from 45 000 to 60 000 litres per hour, providing intense coolant filtration.

Only 35% of energy from combustion in an engine is useful! 33% is lost via the exhaust system and heat, and the remainder 32% is removed by coolant. This fact is indicative of how important coolant filtration is in a cooling system.
