Check And Test Antifreeze; Use Of Antifreeze In The Boiler System - IDEAL EXALT Solo 110 Installation & Maintenance Manual

CHAPTER 10 - START-UP PREPARATION

10.1.7 Check and Test Antifreeze

For boiler systems containing antifreeze solutions,
follow the antifreeze manufacturer's instructions in
verifying the inhibitor level and to ensure the fluid
characteristics are within specification requirements.
Due to the degradation of inhibitors over time, antifreeze
fluids must be periodically replaced.

10.1.8 Use of Antifreeze in the Boiler System

WARNING
NEVER use automotive or ethylene glycol
antifreeze or undiluted antifreeze in the system
as freeze protection. This can result in substantial
property damage, serious injury, or death.
Determine the antifreeze fluid quantity using the sys-
tem water volume and following the antifreeze manu-
facturer instructions.
The water volume of the EXALT is approximately:
- 2 gallons [8 L] for EXALT Solo 110
- 3 gallons [12 L] for EXALT Solo/Combi 155
- 4 gallons [15 L] for EXALT Solo/Combi 199.
Remember to include the volume of the expansion tank.
Check with local code requirements for the installation
of backflow preventers or actual disconnection of the
boiler's cold water fill or make up water supply line.
NOTICE
Massachusetts Code requires the installation of a
backflow preventer if antifreeze is used.
Ensure the concentration of antifreeze to water does
not exceed a 50/50 ratio.
NOTICE
System fluid including additives, must be practically
non-toxic, having a toxicity rating or Class of 1, as
listed in Clinical Toxicology of Commercial Products.
