1. Introduction 

The Digital Glycol Feeder (DGF), is designed to make-up for lost glycol in a closed loop system.  
It accomplishes this by monitoring system pressure.  When system pressure drops below a set 
pressure (indicating glycol loss), the pump activates and restores the lost glycol, bringing the 
system pressure back to the proper operating level. 

Model DGF1 includes a control unit in a NEMA Type 4 enclosure, a 55 gallon polyethylene tank, 
a level wand, a pressure switch and a positive displacement pump for controlling glycol feed in a 
single loop system.  The feeder is mounted on a welded stand for ease in shipment and 
installation. 

Model DGF2 controls a dual loop system.
