Engine coolant specifications
The use of the correct coolant is important for good heat
transfer and protection of liquid-cooled engines. Coolants
used in these engines must be mixtures of good quality
water (distilled or de-ionised), special coolant additives
and if necessary freeze protection. Coolant that is not to
manufacturer's specification will result in mechanical
damage of the engine.
The freezing point of the coolant must be lower than the
freezing point that can occur in the area. The difference
must be at least 5°C (41°F). If the coolant freezes, it may
crack the cylinder block, radiator or coolant pump.
Consult the engine's operation manual and follow the
manufacturer's directions.
Specifications PARCOOL EG
PARCOOL EG is the only coolant that has been tested and
approved by all engine manufacturers currently in use in
Chicago Pneumatic compressors and generators.
Chicago Pneumatic's PARCOOL EG extended life
coolant is the new range of organic coolants purpose
designed to meet the needs of modern engines.
PARCOOL EG can help prevent leaks caused by
corrosion. PARCOOL EG is also fully compatible with all
sealants and gasket types developed to join different
materials used within an engine.
PARCOOL EG is a ready to use Ethylene Glycol based
coolant, premixed in an optimum 50/50 dilution ratio, for
antifreeze protection guaranteed to -40°C (-40°F).
Because PARCOOL EG inhibits corrosion, deposit
formation is minimized. This effectively eliminates the
problem of restricted flow through the engine coolant
ducts and the radiator, minimizing the risk for engine
overheating and possible failure.
It reduces water pump seal wear and has excellent stability
when subjected to sustained high operating temperatures.
PARCOOL EG is free of nitride and amines to protect
your health and the environment. Longer service life
reduces the amount of coolant produced and needing
disposal to minimise environmental impact.
To ensure protection against corrosion, cavitation and
formation of deposits, the concentration of the additives in
the coolant must be kept between certain limits, as stated
by the manufacturer's guidelines. Topping up the coolant
with water only, changes the concentration and is
therefore not allowed.
Liquid-cooled engines are factory-filled with this type of
coolant mixture.
Never remove the cooling system filler cap
while coolant is hot.
The system may be under pressure. Remove
the cap slowly and only when coolant is at
ambient temperature. A sudden release of
pressure from a heated cooling system can
result in personal injury from the splash of
hot coolant.
It is strongly recommended to use Chicago
Pneumatic branded coolant.
Never mix different coolants and mix the
coolant components outside the cooling
system.
