The higher the concentration of heat transfer fluid, the higher the viscosity of the coolant.
This results in a higher pressure loss in the system. See
The nominal current ratings of drive system modules apply to an Antifrogen® L / water
solution of 25/75% (volume). With the Antifrogen® L concentration between 25% and 50%,
the drive output current must be derated by 1/3 percentage point per 1 p.p. increase in
Antifrogen® L concentration. The drawing below shows the derating factor (k) in relation to
Antifrogen® L concentration.

Incoming coolant temperature:
•
0...40 °C (32...104 °F): no drive output current derating required
•
40...45 °C (104...113 °F): drive output current must be derated by 2 percentage points
per 1 °C (1.8 °F) temperature increase, as shown by curve (a).
•
45...50 °C (113...122 °F):

If components with a maximum operating temperature of 55 °C (131 °F) are installed
in the same space as the drive modules, drive output current must be derated by
6 percentage points per 1 °C (1.8 °F) temperature increase, as shown by curve (c).
•
If there are no components with a maximum operating temperature of 55 °C (131 °F)
installed in the same space as the drive modules, drive output current must be
derated by 2 percentage points per 1 °C (1.8 °F) temperature increase, as shown
by curve (b).
