13. ETHYLENE GLYCOL SOLUTIONS
• The
correc on factors of cooling power and
input power take into account the presence of
glycol and diverse evapora on temperatures.
•
The pressure drop correc on factor considers
the di
ff
erent
fl
ow rate resul ng from the applica-
on of the water
fl
ow rate correc on factor.
• The
water
fl
ow rate correc on factor is calcula-
ted to keep the same
Δ
t that would be present
with the absence of glycol.
NOTE
On the following page an example is given to help
graph reading. Using the diagram below it is possible to
determine the percentage of glycol required; this per-
centage can be calculated by taking of the following
factors into consideration one:
Depending on which fluid is considered (water or air),
the graph is interpreted by the right or left side at the
crossing point on the curves with the external tempe-
rature line or the water produced line. A point from
which the vertical line will pass is obtained and this will
distinguish both glycol percentage and relative correc-
tion coefficients.
12.9. HOW
TO
INTERPRET GLYCOL CURVES
The curves shown in the diagram summarise a signifi-
cant number of data, each of which is represented by a
specific curve. In order to use these curves correctly it
is first necessary to make some initial reflections.
1.
If you wish to calculate the percentage of glycol
on the basis of the external air temperature, en-
ter from the le axis and on reaching the curve
draw a ver cal line, which in turn will intercept
all the other curves; the points obtained from
the upper curves represent the coe
ffi
cients
for the correc on of the cooling capacity and
input power, the
fl
ow rates and the pressure
drops (remember that these coe
ffi
cients must
be mul plied by the nominal value of the size
in ques on); while the glycol percentage value
recommended to produce desired water tempe-
rature is on the lower axis.
2.
If you wish to calculate the percentage of glycol
on the basis of the temperature of the water
produced, enter from the right axis and on rea-
ching the curve draw a ver cal line, which in turn
will intercept all the other curves; the points ob-
tained from the upper curves represent the coef-
fi
cients for the correc on of the cooling capacity
and input power, the
fl
ow rates and the pressure
drops (remember that these coe
ffi
cients must be
mul plied by the nominal value of the
3.
size in ques on); while the lower axis recom-
mends the glycol percentage value necessary to
produce water at the desired temperature.
Initial rates for “EXTERNAL AIR TEMPERATURE”
and “TEMPERATURE OF PRODUCED WATER”, are not
directly related, therefore it is not possible to refer to
the curve of one of these rates to obtain correspon-
ding point on the curve of the other rate.

Although the graph arrives at external air
