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).
