Coolant With Anti-Freeze (Glycol) Precautions - Ametek Amrel PLA Series Operation Manual

COOLANT WITH ANTI-FREEZE (GLYCOL) PRECAUTIONS

Cooling liquids containing Anti-Freeze (Glycol) will decrease the thermal efficiency of the PLW cooling
system by reducing the cooling efficiency and increasing the viscosity of the coolant. To counteract the
lowered heat dissipation, the GPM must be increased to maintain proper cooling of the system (refer to
specific PLW model datasheet for requirement). Increased glycol levels will affect the power handling
capability of the unit, please consult with the glycol's manufacture for detail characteristic of specific glycol
mixture affecting flow rate, pressure drop, pH value, viscosity, etc.
