Adding Antifreeze
To increase the concentration of the solution in the system, determine the percent of glycol in solution and apply the following equations: Qa = Vs (Pd - Pt) (100 - Pt) Qa = Quantity, in gallons, to be added Vs = System volume Pd = Percent of solution desired Pt = Percent of solution by test (initial percent) Drain the determined number of gallons from the system and refill with glycol concentrate. Example: System volume = Vs = 120 gallons Initial percent of solution from test = Pt = 30% (+4ºF freezing point) Percent of solution desired = Pd = 50% (-34ºF freezing point) Qa = 120 (50 - 30) (100 - 30) Qa - 34.3 gallons required PIPE SIZE 1/2” 3/4”
