Materials used in the motor cooling circuit
The materials used in the cooling circuit must be coordinated with the materials in the motor.
Materials used in the motor (cooling jacket material): E355 AR (1.0580), DD11 (1.0332)
Materials and components in the cooling circuit
Note
Minimizing electrochemical processes in the cooling circuit
The electrochemical processes that take place in a cool
ing system must be minimized by
t materials.
Avoid combinations of different materials, such as copper, brass, iron, or halogenated plastic
(PVC hoses and seals).
The following table lists a wide variety of materials and components that may or must not be
used in a cooling circuit.

Pipes, valves and
fittings
Can be used in closed circuits with inhibitor.
Copper Pipes, valves and
fittings
Can be used only in closed circuits with inhibitors in which the heat
sink and copper component are separated (e.g. connection hose on
