Low coolant symbol recycled for electrical equipment
Low coolant symbol
In a previous post, we congratulated Kia for recycling a diesel symbol for use in an electrical vehicle (EV) to describe a similar job, rather than invent something new, which would add to the mountain of symbols that already exist.
Here, we get to congratulate them again with a low coolant symbol.
Kia is using one of the original Low Coolant symbols not for a gasoline or diesel engine but for the cooling system of an electrical inverter. The symbol looks like a rectangle with a mouth at the top and a wavy line across the bottom, meant to represent liquid.
The company could have thought up a brand new symbol to describe cooling an electrical inverter, but chose not to add to the 1,000+ symbols already in use.
Kia‘s symbols page is here and the inverter can be seen on this page.
