Heating water in accordance with VDI 2035 part 1 and part 2
•
Demineralized water in accordance with VDI 2035-2, "Water quality" section
•
Water-glycol mixture, max. mixing ratio 1:1
If glycol is added, the pumping data of the pump must be corrected according to the higher viscosity, de-
pending on the mixing ratio percentage.
•
Ethylene/propylene glycols with corrosion protection inhibitors.
•
No oxygen binding agents, no chemical sealants (ensure system is closed in terms of corrosion according
to VDI 2035); fix leaky spots.
•
Standard commercial corrosion protection inhibitors
due to consumption!).
