Glycol Adding Requirements
- Purchase glycol and corrosion inhibitor from a local qualified smart cooling product installation company.
- Determine the glycol volume concentration based on the lowest temperature in record in the area.
- As the glycol solution is toxic, avoid skin contact with the glycol solution and splashing it into your eyes. Dispose of the glycol solution in accordance with local laws.
- To prevent glycol solution from corroding pipes and the heat exchanging coil, corrosion inhibitor should be mixed into the glycol solution. For details about the mixing schemes, consult glycol experts.
- Check the quality of the glycol solution on a quarterly basis and evaluate the anticorrosion effects. For details, consult local water treatment experts.
