What freeze protection does SAFE-T-THERM® LC25 provide?
SAFE-T-THERM® LC25 contains approximately 25% inhibited propylene glycol and provides burst protection and freeze protection for many commercial and data center cooling applications. Specific protection levels should be verified based on system design and operating conditions.
Can SAFE-T-THERM® LC25 be used in chilled water systems?
Yes. SAFE-T-THERM® LC25 is commonly used in chilled water systems where freeze protection is required and cooling equipment may be exposed to low ambient temperatures.
What are the advantages of propylene glycol for data center cooling?
Propylene glycol provides freeze protection while helping protect system components from corrosion. It is commonly used in data centers, commercial buildings, and industrial facilities requiring dependable thermal management.
How often should data center glycol systems be tested?
Data center cooling fluids should be tested regularly to monitor glycol concentration, inhibitor levels, pH, reserve alkalinity, and overall fluid condition. Annual testing is recommended, with more frequent testing for critical systems. Contact us to discuss your specific testing requirements.
Can SAFE-T-THERM® LC25 help reduce maintenance in data center cooling systems?
Yes. By helping prevent corrosion and scale formation, SAFE-T-THERM® LC25 can reduce maintenance requirements and help extend equipment life.
What glycol concentration is recommended for data center cooling systems?
For most data center cooling systems typically recommend a 25% glycol concentration to provide freeze protection while maintaining efficient heat transfer and system performance. SAFE-T-THERM® LC25 is a convenient 25% glycol pre-mixed solution designed to meet these common requirements, eliminating the need for on-site mixing and helping ensure consistent fluid quality throughout the system.
However, the required glycol concentration may vary depending on the equipment manufacturer, system design, operating temperatures, and site-specific freeze protection requirements. Always consult the equipment specifications and project requirements when selecting the appropriate glycol concentration.
Does SAFE-T-THERM® LC25 contain corrosion inhibitors?
Yes. SAFE-T-THERM® LC25 contains corrosion inhibitors designed to protect common cooling system metals, including steel, copper, brass, cast iron, and aluminum.
How long does glycol last in a data center cooling system?
Fluid life depends on operating conditions, maintenance practices, and contamination levels. Routine testing and proper system maintenance can significantly extend fluid life.
Can SAFE-T-THERM® LC25 be delivered in bulk for large data center projects?
Yes. SAFE-T-THERM® LC25 is available in pails, drums, totes, and bulk quantities to support data center construction, expansion, and maintenance projects.
