HOW COOLANT WORKS
WHAT IS A COOLANT? Engine creates a lot of energy and heat while the car is moving. It is the job of the exhaust and cooling system to make sure the engine stays cool. The coolant absorbs the heat from the engine and stops the engine water from boiling in the summer.A coolant is a special heat transfer fluid substance that is used to regulate the temperature of engines and machines. It is also known as antifreeze, which has mostly ethylene glycol or propylene as the main ingredient. Coolant is g

WHAT ARE ABRASIVES USED FOR?
It is well known that one material is able to erode the other when they both come in contact with each other. Abrasive is any material which is used through roughening, polishing and rubbing in finishing and shaping a working material, this results in the working material to be worn out by friction.WHAT ARE THEY MADE UP OF?Abrasives are of natural or synthetic origin and their degree of hardness are what mainly differentiates them. They are made from minerals that are present in small size or ca

POWER TRANSFORMER MAINTENANCE
Power transformers are stationary electrical machines used for transforming power from one circuit to another without changing frequency. This is a very basic definition of transformer. Since, there is no rotating or moving part, so a transformer is a static device. Transformer operates on an A/C supply. A transformer works on the principle of mutual induction. As the leader in distribution of power transformers in Nigeria, GZ has understood how to ensure power transformers are well maintained a

ARE COOLANT AND ANTIFREEZE THE SAME?
For starters just let it sink deep, Antifreeze and Coolants are similar, but not the same. To maintain a functioning cooling system, you will need to use antifreeze and coolant. However, it can be confusing what the terms coolant and antifreeze mean and how they differ from each other, especially since many people use the terms interchangeably. Antifreeze is a concentrated, glycol-based liquid that must be diluted with water before use; at which point it is referred to as coolant. When mixe

What is Gas Engine Oil?
Generally in modern usage, the term gas engine refers to a heavy-duty industrial engine capable of running continuously at full load for periods approaching a high fraction of 8,760 hours per year, unlike a gasoline automobile engine, which is lightweight, high-revving and typically runs for no more than 4,000 hours in its entire life. Typical power ranges from 10 kW (13 hp) to 4 MW (5,364 hp).The use of gas engines for power generation has become more widespread in recent years. Their growing u

Where to buy Demineralise water in Nigeria
Where to buy Demineralise water in NigeriaDemineralized water is a more economical means of water purification and simply refers to any water that has undergone a process to remove minerals and salts from the water. This type of water is used in applications where water with low salt content or low conductivity is required. Demineralized water is made by passing the water through specially manufactured resins. The resin is designed to exchange ions in the water so that the final result leaves yo

HOW TO TEST POWER TRANSFORMER
HOW TO TEST POWER TRANSFORMERA transformer is defined as a passive electrical device that transfers electrical energy from one circuit to another through the process of electromagnetic induction. It is most commonly used to increase (‘step up’) or decrease (‘step down’) voltage levels between circuits.Power transformers are electric devices that are used to step up or step down the voltage level of its supply source. The stepping up or down depends upon the number of turns of primary and seconda

Where Is Hydraulic Oil used
Where Is Hydraulic Oil usedHydraulic oil is a non-compressible fluid that is used to transfer power within hydraulic machinery and equipment. It is also a fluid found within a piece of equipment that is used to transmit power within that equipment which is generally driven by a pump. It is also used to keep the equipment cool, lubricated, and also carry other contaminants. Hydraulic oil can be synthetic- or mineral-based.Common hydraulic fluids are based on mineral oil or water. Examples of equi

How Often Should I change Coolant
How Often Should I change Coolant?Regular maintenance is key to engine performance, efficiency, reliability and longevity. Knowing when to change coolant, engine oil, transmission fluid and brake fluid, among other adjustments, will help you get the most out of your vehicle.Even in the most efficient internal combustion engines, little of the explosive energy of the fuel is converted to motive power to get you down the road. The rest of the fuel’s chemical energy is lost as heat. Some heat is go
