Description:
Antifrogen® N
Antifrogen® N is a light yellow coloured liquid which is used as a heat transfer medium, e.g. in closed heat pump systems, in hot water heating systems and as a cooling brine in technical cooling systems. The product is inhibited free of nitrite, amine, borate, silicate and phosphate. Antifrogen® N is not suitable for food-related or pharmaceutical applications. The use of Antifrogen® L is recommended here.
- Basis: monoethylene glycol
- Plus anti-corrosion additives
- Minimum application concentration: 20 % by volume (corresponds to a frost resistance of -9 to -10 °C)
- Continuous operating temperatures*: approx. -50 to +150 °C
- Universally applicable
* Taking into account the increased kinematic viscosity, even lower application temperatures are possible
Frost protection and application concentration:
Frost protection depends on the mixing ratio with water. The minimum concentration of Antifrogen® N is 20 % by volume. The frost resistance of the mixture does not change – assuming a constant Antifrogen® N concentration – even after many years of operation. Homogeneous mixtures of Antifrogen® N and water also do not separate.
Antifrogen® N must always be diluted with water.
The water used to dilute Antifrogen® N should not contain more than 100 mg/kg (ppm) chloride. This is particularly important if systems contain components made of aluminium or aluminium alloys. The water hardness can lie in a wide range between 0 and 25° dH. This means that drinking water can be used in addition to fully demineralised (deionised, distilled) water.
Experience has shown that the good anti-corrosive properties of Antifrogen® N water mixtures decrease with increasing water content. The Antifrogen® N content in a cooling brine or heating fluid must therefore not be less than 20 % by volume. This corresponds to a -9 to -10 °C frost-proof solution. Below this concentration, microorganisms can grow in the brine, which can lead to organic deposits and microbially induced corrosion.
