6. GLYCOL SYSTEMS
6.1 Glycol Concentration
The system must be lled with water and the appropriate amount of glycol (either ethylene or pro-
pylene) inhibitors to protect against winter freeze-up and premature coil corrosion. To achieve the
approximate glycol concentration, it is necessary to know the total system volume. This consists of
the sum of the uid cooler volume, the evaporator unit volume and the volume of the inter-connecting
piping.
The following tables can be used for arriving at an approximate system volume. After installation,
the glycol percentage should be checked. The glycol percentage should also be checked at regular
intervals to ensure freeze protection.
