Antifreeze Corrections

Catalog performance can be corrected for antifreeze use. Please use the following table and note the example given.
Antifreeze Type
EWT - °F [°C]
Water
Ethylene Glycol
Propylene Glycol
Ethanol
Methanol
WARNING: Gray area represents antifreeze concentrations greater than 35% by weight and should
be avoided due to the extreme performance penalty they represent.
Antifreeze Correction Example
Antifreeze solution is Propylene Glycol 20% by weight. Determine the corrected heating and cooling performance at 30°F
and 90°F respectively as well as pressure drop at 30°F for a 5 Series NS*022-ECM.
The corrected cooling capacity at 90°F would be: 22,400 MBtu/h x 0.969 = 21,706 MBtu/h
The corrected heating capacity at 30°F would be: 14,500 MBtu/h x 0.913 = 13,239 MBtu/h
The corrected pressure drop at 30°F and 6 gpm would be: 6.6 feet of head x 1.270 = 8.38 feet of head
