ShareInhibited glycols in piping distribution systems: some disasters that could have been easily prevented.
Author(s) : DENKMANN J. L.
Summary
Use of an inhibited glycol (IG) as a freezing point depressant is common. Numerous chilled-water piping distribution systems, particularly in northern climates, use a small IG concentration to prevent rupture of chilled-water coils during winter months. Many ice-based thermal storage systems use higher IG concentrations as the primary heat transfer fluid for freezing water in the storage modules. The paper gives some information about precautions which have to be taken to avoid serious drawbacks in the use of glycols.
