We have some super-chillers where we use Glycol+Water mixer as secondary
fluid to transfer cooling effect. To reduce cost i want to use Glycerin+Water
mixer. From the % Glycerine in Water Vs Temperature curve i got that if i use
50-50 mixer of glycerine-water mixer, the freezing point will be -25 deg C.
1. Is there any problem of using Glycerine
as Anti-freeze or
2. as i have pipe line made of GI
pipe & storage tank made of SS & some pumps & solenoids- Is
there any side effect of glycerine on these equipment.
3. Moreover at room temperature glycerine
rapidly absorbs water & when dilute it is attacked by micro organism. How
all these effect & how can i reduce these problems.
Thanks in Advance.
Regards
Musa
