SterlingTEK A0551797 manual Volume, Freezing Protection Curve

Page 29

If you want lower chilled water temperatures, you’ll need to mix process water with industrial- (not automotive) grade ethylene or propylene glycol with rust inhibitor to provide protection down to 20°F (12ºC) below the operating temperature you want. Figure 3 below shows the proper mixtures needed to provide protection to 20°F (12ºC) below the operating temperature you want. You can then reset the freezestat cutout temperature to a temperature 10°F (6ºC) below the operating temperature you selected.

Caution!

Make sure all freezestat adjustments are performed

by a qualified refrigeration service technician.

The Sterling product warranty does not cover system freeze-up!
