3.6.3. Flow rating according to glycol concentration
Use of the graph above - Example
If the motor needs 10 l/min with 0% glycol,
If application needs 20% glycol, the water flow must be 10,6 l/min,
If application needs 40% glycol, the water flow must be 11,8 l/min.
Main formulas
With: Flow rate [l/min]
Power_dissipation [W]
° Gradient inlet-outlet [°C]
Cp thermal specific capacity of the water as coolant [J/kg°K]
(Cp depends on the % glycol concentration please see below)
Thermal specific capacity Cp according to % glycol concentration and temperature
We have considered an average temperature of the coolant of 30°C.
