12. Firefi ghter Eliminator
A. Description
Viking Firefighter Eliminator C and F is a certified premixed propylene glycol/water antifreeze
solution required for use with the Viking ESFR Cold Storage System.
B. Technical Data
Table 17 - Typical Properties (Not for specification purposes)
Concentration
Firefighter C 35% by volume propylene glycol
< 5% dipotassium phosphate
< 3% coloring
Firefighter F 50% by volume propylene glycol
< 5% dipotassium phosphate
< 3% coloring
For further details, see the Viking Firefighter Eliminator C Material Safety Data Sheet (pages 49e-g and 50e-g).
Environmental & Toxicological Information: Viking Firefighter Eliminator is virtually harmless to animals or plants; however, as with any sub-
stance, care should be taken to prevent discharge from entering ground water, surface water, or storm drains. Disposal of this solution should be
made in accordance with federal, state, and local regulations.
Propylene glycol/water solutions are designed to be installed on systems supplied by potable water supplies. Local authorities should be
consulted prior to draining system to storm sewers or to natural drainage areas.
Manufactured by: The Noble Company, 7300 Enterprise Dr., Spring Lake, MI U.S.A. 49456
C. Inspections, Tests and Maintenance
Field mixing of propylene glycol and site water is strictly prohibited, as the control of the mixture
cannot be assured. Improper field mixing of solution can result in reduced capability to prevent
freezing or to control a fire. Firefighter Eliminator is already premixed and ready to use.
Testing the Solution:
Antifreeze solution shall be checked semi-annually with a refractometer to detect the concen-
tration of antifreeze solution and effectiveness against freezing. Sampling shall be taken from
multiple points within the freezer system (refer to the instructions on data page 45d for fluid
sampling). When draining sample antifreeze solution from the system, be sure to shut off the
system control valve directly upstream of the Easy Riser
enter the system.
