Factors with water and glycol
Glycol can be used for antifreeze protection, or as brine for
operation at low temperatures. We recommend the use of wa-
ter and glycol when the discharge water temperature is below
+6° C. The "Solution with glycol/freezing point" table gives the
freezing point of water with glycol, and the "Recommended
glycol concentration" table shows the glycol concentration
needed, depending upon application.
Glycol contains anticorrosive and antifoam components that
favour circuit protection.
Solution with glycol/freezing point
Glycol % per weight Freezing point °C
A mixture of glycol and water has a freezing point below that
of pure water. Depending upon the concentration of glycol in
this solution, an even lower freezing point can be achieved
and this protects the circuit when the unit is off and ambient
temperature is low (below 0° C). This table indicates freezing
point in accordance with glycol concentration. This concentra-
tion appears in % per weight.
Recommended glycol concentration
The glycol concentration in the water should be checked
regularly to ensure adequate protection of the chiller.
