Materials and components in the cooling circuit
The following table lists a wide variety of materials and components which may or may not be
used in a cooling circuit.
Table 4-9 Materials and components of a cooling circuit
Material Used as Description
Zinc Pipes, valves and
ttings
Use is not permitted.
Brass Pipes, valves and
ttings
Can be used in closed circuits with inhibitor.
Copper Pipes, valves and
ttings
Can be used only in closed circuits with inhibitors in which the heat
sink and copper component are separated (e.g. connection hose
on devices).
Common steel (e.g. St37) Pipes Permissible in closed circuits and semi-open circuits with inhibitors
or Antifrogen N, check for oxide formation, inspection window
recommended.
Cast steel, cast iron Pipes, motors Closed circuit and use of strainers and ushback lters. Fe separator
for stainless heat sink.
High-alloy steel, Group 1 (V2A) Pipes, valves and
ttings
Can be used for drinking or municipal water with a chloride content
up to <250ppm, suitable according to denition in Section "Cool‐
ant denition".
High-alloy steel, Group 2 (V4A) Pipes, valves and
ttings
Can be used for drinking or municipal water with a chloride content
up to <500ppm, suitable according to denition in Section "Cool‐
ant denition".
ABS (AcrylnitrileButadieneStyrene) Pipes, valves and
ttings
Suitable according to the denition in Section "Coolant denition".
Suitable for mixing with inhibitor and/or biocide as well as Antifro‐
gen N.
Installation comprising dierent ma‐
terials (mixed installation)
Pipes, valves and
ttings
Use is not permitted.
