ScaleAwayGly-Cool concentrate is a high quality, food and beverage grade antifreeze coolant with additional corrosion and scale inhibitors added.
ScaleAwayGly-Cool concentrate contains non-toxic multi-metal inhibitors to protect chillers and their associated cooling systems against corrosion and scale.
|
ScaleAwayGly-Cool concentrate is designed for use in the food and beverage industries and for
systems where low oral toxicity is essential and is considerably less toxic than non food grade antifreeze and is labeled as "non-toxic antifreeze". It is used as
antifreeze where non food grade based antifreeze would be inappropriate, such as in food-processing systems or in water pipes in homes where incidental ingestion may
be possible.
In order to maximise heat transfer properties of the system. ScaleAwayGly-Cool concentrate offers
excellent frost protection characteristics. A food grade tracer dye is added allowing it to act as a leak detector.
A bitter taste additive can also be added to ScaleAwayGly-Cool concentrate to prevent human consumption where required.
ScaleAwayGly-Cool concentrate should be diluted using ultrapure, demineralised, softened water.

HVAC APPLICATIONS
The HVAC applications that most commonly use ScaleAwayGly-Cool are ground source heat pumps, solar water heating systems and chilled water cooling systems.
Once the system is charged with ScaleAwayGly-Cool, proper air elimination is critical for antifreeze systems. Air that
becomes trapped in a antifreeze water mixture is especially hard to separate. Air pockets or frothing can result when the system pump is activated, which often leads to many
frustrations during and after the commissioning process. A good quality micro bubble air eliminator is highly recommended for any system containing antifreeze.
Installation of the air eliminator is best on the return line right before water enters the chiller.
Different brands or types of antifreezes should never be mixed, due to the different corrosion inhibitors used by different
manufacturers. If topping up an existing system, only use the same brand that was originally installed. By only using ScaleAwayGly-Cool you are assured of
no cross contamination in your future maintenence schedule for your HVAC system.
When the system is operational, periodic testing of the antifreeze must be done to ensure that it is still suitable for use and
providing the correct level of freeze protection. It is not unusual for something to go wrong in a system such as a leak or system maintenance, and the system
ends up getting topped up with freshwater. This will resulting in a diluted antifreeze concentration and a lack of freeze protection. Burst pipes or frozen solar
collectors can often be the result of this problem.
Typically an annual check-up will include verification of the antifreeze concentration with a refractometer, and a
check of the antifreeze pH level using a pH meter. antifreeze that has gone bad typically will have a low pH level, which if left unchecked, will start to corrode
the metal components in the system. Usually when the pH level is too low the antifreeze must be drained, the system flushed and recharged with
new ScaleAwayGly-Cool. You are welcome to send a 500ml sample of your coolant to Industrial Piping Solutions for analysis and recommendations for
future coolant protection.
The management of inhibited antifreeze in the waterside of your cooling equipment and associated piping is of paramount importance for the efficiency and lifespan
of your equipment.
