The engine coolant absorbs the heat, and then it's transported away from the engine block to be dissipated. It can be done in various ways, but usually, it just vents out the back of the car. Some systems use fans to blow air over fins on the radiator, cooling the fluid before returning it to the engine.\r\rEngine coolant in a car's cooling system is used to provide protection by regulating temperature by allowing heat transfer from the engine to keep your car's engine from overheating. You can do this by pumping the liquid through the engine, where it absorbs heat energy and carries it away to the car's radiator or directly outside of the vehicle. These fluids are typically ethylene glycol-based liquids, although other similar compounds may be used in some vehicles.\r\rMost modern automobiles use what's called \"passive\" cooling systems. These systems are constantly circulating water through small holes in each cylinder head. As each piston rises and falls, that motion forces the fluid into small passages around the cylinders, then drains back into a larger passage at the bottom of each cylinder bore. Each time this happens, more heat is carried away from the piston crowns then transferred, and the engine is cooled.\r\rThere are different types of engine coolants, but all of them share one important property: they need to withstand high temperatures without breaking down. A coolant or antifreeze should also change the freezing point of the fluid within cooling system.\r\rEssentially, there are two kinds of coolants: water-based and oil-based. Water-based liquids contain molecules that can be split apart by heat, whereas the molecules in oil-based liquids are too big to be affected. The key difference between them is that water has a boiling point of 100 degrees Celsius, while ethylene glycol has a boiling point as high as 290 degrees Celsius. This ability allows it to remain stable under much higher pressures and temperatures.\r\rBoth types of coolant work similarly in heat transfer of excess heat away from sensitive equipment before it becomes a problem.
