What if froze nezamerzayku
Do It Yourself Educational Program / / December 19, 2019
Alcohol, hair dryer and other ways to help solve the problem quickly.
Why freeze nezamerzayku
Option two:
- Nezamerzayku mixed with water or omyvayki summer, and therefore starts to freeze at higher temperatures.
- The liquid just poor quality, its parameters do not correspond to the declared.
As a result, at a low temperature liquid is solidified and crystallized. The pump can not pump it, and glass washer stops working.
How to break the ice in the washer
1. Put the car in a warm place
Perhaps this is the most simple, effective and obvious solution. If possible, set the machine for several hours in a heated garage or on a warm parking. While you are walking through the mall or watching a movie, frozen nezamerzayku completely thawed.
2. Good warm up the engine
Another simple way - during a long trip a good warm up the engineAnd with it the engine compartment, which houses a tank with frozen omyvayki.
Unfortunately, this option is unlikely to work in machines in which the washer tank is located away from the engine, or rapidly purged oncoming air. In this scenario, it is not something that is not otogreet, but even more freeze, even if the winter omyvayki concentrate.
3. Remove the tank
Pretty simple and, most importantly, effective way that is suitable to owners of domestic cars and some cars. If the washer tank is located immediately under the hood, it can be easily removed by unscrewing a couple of screws, and then warm up the house under running water or in a bowl.
In no case do not water the body of a tank of boiling water: the walls are cracked. It is better to start with a little warm water and gradually raise the temperature to hot.
On most cars crank this focus is problematic. Manufacturers often place a washer in tight spaces anywhere in the cavity of the bumper or one of the front wing and remove it can only be disassembled polmashiny.
4. Thawing tank hairdryer
If you live in a private home or have the opportunity to connect to the network 220, it is possible to try to break the ice in the tank the usual hairdryer. If bring it close temperature can reach 70-80 ° C. So act cautiously and gradually warm the tank, so as not to damage the plastic.
The great advantage of the dryer before the previous method is that you can at the same time to unfreeze the liquid in the tubes and the nozzles of a washer, if they, too, were frozen.
5. Add the concentrate tank or alcohol
Even inexpensive concentrate winter washer or any alcohol, into contact with the ice will melt it and at the same time improve the properties nezamerzayki thawing.
To improve the effect can be further heat capacity of the concentrate in a water bath or in a basin with warm water. Be careful with open fire: nezamerzayku contains alcohol and vapors!
The disadvantage of this method is that it will help only in cases where the tank is half full or almost empty. If it is full, refill concentrate is simply nowhere.
5. Use hot water for washing
In the extreme case it is possible to drop the short wash and warm the hot water tank. Ask the operator to lower the hose into the filler neck of a tank of warm water and apply a minimum pressure. Running water will not cool down and after a few minutes completely melt the ice.
The main drawback of the method is that the water can get to the generator, wiring, fuse and other parts of car, not intended for contact with liquids. We must act with maximum caution!
What to do next
Melt the frozen nezamerzayku - this is only half the battle. Once the washer will work, you must immediately remove all that is left in the tank. This can be done by pouring the glass with a full-wiper or disconnecting and dropping into the bottle tube going to the nozzles on the hood. Other options - to drain through the hose or pump out its large syringe.
If the ice thawed, but the liquid still does not poured on the glass, then froze as a tube or nozzle washer. To organize their work well enough to warm up the engine.
Immediately after that, sure to fill the tank with high-quality winter washer freezing temperature that corresponds to your region, and in any case it is better even with a small margin.
How not to freeze in the future nezamerzayku
- use good quality nezamerzayku. Do not buy cheap liquid roads and fill only those that correspond to the weather conditions.
- After replacement of water and summer to winter omyvayki necessarily sprinkle a few times on the glass, so that the remains out of the tubes and the nozzles and froze in the cold.
- Top up the tank only concentrate to the properties of residues nezamerzayki certainly not deteriorated.
- Do not pour more than half of the tank, that was where to pour the concentrate, if the liquid is still freezes. It is better to carry any stock in the boot and top up if necessary.
- Set the tank heater and heated nozzles. On some cars are available as an additional option, or even the main, but the sale can be found and the individual parts for self-installation on any machine.
