regulations.
For example, VDI 2035 or SIA 384-1.
To ensure fault-free operation of the system over the long-term,
glycols whose inhibitors prevent corrosion phenomena must
always be used for systems operating with water/glycol mixtures.
It must also be ensured that no foam is formed due to the
substances in the water. Otherwise this could endanger the entire
function of the vacuum spray pipe degassing as this can lead to
sedimentation in the vent pipe and therefore leaks.
The specifications of the respective manufacturer are always
decisive for the specific properties and mixing ratio of the
water/glycol mixtures.
Types of glycol must not be mixed and the concentration is
generally to be checked every year (see manufacturer
information).
