Filling and venting the engine cooling system
Coolant with anti-freeze
Fill the cooling system with a mixture of potable tap
water and anti-freeze containing a corrosion-
preventive additive for engine cooling systems.
WARNING
Use only anti-freeze agents with corro-
sion-preventive additives for engine
cooling systems that have been ap-
proved in the CHP module manufactur-
er’s instructions for operating re-
sources. Please refer to section 2.3
“Coolants“ for a list of anti-freeze
agents with corrosion-preventive addi-
tives for engine cooling systems and
further information about the water
quality required.
Handling anti-freeze concentrate
WARNING
When handling anti-freeze concentrate
wear protective gloves and goggles
Please observe the safety data sheet
(which can be obtained from glycol
suppliers).
If having been in contact with the concentrate:
●
Objects
Wipe off any spillage with an absorbent material
and dispose it as special refuse.
●
Skin
Wash the relevant parts of the body with water and
soap.
●
Eyes
Rinse they eyes thoroughly for 15 min under run-
ning water with the lids spread apart and seek
medical advice thereafter.
Mixing coolant
CAUTION
Do not use containers designated for
drinking water or foodstuffs.
●
Mix the coolant in the required quantity and con-
centration.
WARNING
A minimum concentration of 30 vol.-%
of anti-freeze agent must always be ob-
served, since the corrosion protection
will not be ensured with less than the 30
vol.-% as required.
NOTE
Since the CHP module will be put up in
frost-free rooms (minimum temperature:
+10 °C), a higher anti-freeze concentra-
tion is not required. The cooling system
has been designed in such a way that a
coolant with a maximum of 30 vol.-% of
anti-freeze can remain in the system in
Central Europe also in summer, as long
as the cooling system as such functions
reliably.
Fill in quantities pursuant to the technical description
for the CHP module.
