Multistack Glycol Solution Information

Low Temperature Operation with Glycol
In chilled water systems where water temperatures of less than 40°F and ambient temperatures of 32° F are likely to occur, it is necessary to add a glycol-based heat transfer fluid to
the system. Both Ethylene and Propylene are available and they offer the same basic freeze and corrosion protection although there are performance differences in the solutions.
Notes: 1. Ethylene and propylene glycol ratings are outside the scope of AHRI Standard 550/590 Certifications.
2.The effect of glycol in the condenser is negligible as it tends to mirror the properties of water as its temperature increases. No emphasis on derate on condenser capacity
with glycol is necessary in the selection process.
