ANTIFREEZE for aluminum heat exchanger heating and cooling systems

A new generation of very efficient boilers utilizing ALUMINUM HEAT EXCHANGERS are becoming more popular in today's marketplace. These new boilers typically heat three times faster than traditional boilers and require a specific, unique blend of antifreeze specific to protecting against acid corrosion.

Cryotek 100/AL is a blend of virgin (not recycled) propylene glycol and Hercules exclusive Triple Protection additives designed for use in hydronic heating and cooling closed loop piping systems (including PEX and radiant tube heating systems), ice melt and general heating systems where aluminum heat exchangers are installed.

Hercules Triple Protection additives provide outstanding protection against acid corrosion, scale and sedimentation formation in properly maintained systems containing recommended concentrations of cryotek AntiFreeze.

* Acid neutralizing agent protects by neutralizing corrosive acids.

* Mineral Deposition Preventative eliminates scale formation on critical heat transfer surfaces, piping

systems and equipment.

* Mineral Sediment Preventative keeps minerals in solution, resisting formation of clusters of mineral salts

and preventing particles from precipitating out of solution.

Used at recommended levels, all three agents work together to prevent bio film (slime) buildup. Cryotek 100/AL may be used in systems fabricated with metal, plastics (except CPVC) and rubber piping, fittings, seals, and other parts. Corrosion inhibitors in all cryotek products protect against corrosive buildup within the piping loop and are effective with most metals including steel, aluminum* and copper. Cryotek solutions have a high specific heat and are efficient at transferring heat.

As packaged, cryotek is nonflammable, odorless, nonirritating, and compatible with Hercules boiler stop leaks.

Formulated for the maximum propylene glycol protection directly out of the container. Certified Performance: Freeze Protection Down to 60oF / 51oC, Pumpable Down to** to 70oF / 57oC, and Burst Protection Down to 100oF / 73oC.

Cryotek 100/AL can be diluted with water for less severe conditions. (See Chart page 3.)

Test Kits and Accessories

Freeze protection levels and corrosion protection levels should be checked annually. Use Hercules Refractometer (35290) and pH Meter (35272) or, cryotek Test Kit (35271). Add additional cryotek product, if freeze protection is inadequate. Add cryotek 100/AL Inhibitor (35274), if pH is below 7. 0. (see Maintenance section).

DESCRIPTION *Please check with equipment manufacturer of system to determine compatibility with this product. **Minimum flow protection levels are estimated and are dependent on system and equipment.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 1. CLEAN THE SYSTEM It is recommended that any system, whether new or existing, be thoroughly cleaned prior to being charged with cryotek 100/AL. Any system contaminated with dirt and other materials reduces efficiency and wears the system prematurely. New systems need to be free of flux, solder residue, grease and any foreign particles. Existing systems need to be flushed and cleaned to eliminate any buildup of rust, scale, lime and other nonorganic matter. All systems should be checked for leaks prior to installation of any cryotek product. Minor leaks can be sealed with Hercules base hit II or Hercules boiler liquid .

2. MEASURE THE TOTAL CAPACITY OF THE SYSTEM using one of the following methods:

DIRECT METHOD A. Fill system completely, making sure all components of system are full. B. Shut system down, let pressure drop to a safe level. C. Drain out fluid into suitable container and record the number of gallons removed. This is TOTAL SYSTEM FLUID CAPACITY.

ESTIMATION METHOD A. Determine system pipe sizes and amount of linear footage for each size. Using Table I, calculate the volume of the system piping.

B. Add this number to the gallon capacity of the boiler or equipment in the system to determine the TOTAL SYSTEM FLUID CAPACITY.

TABLE I (Note: 1 US Gallon = 3. 785 Liters)

3. SELECT DESIRED TEMPERATURE COVERAGE Using Table II, determine protection level desired and match it to the appropriate cryotek product concentration.

TABLE II

4. DETERMINE AMOUNT OF cryotek PRODUCT REQUIRED IN SYSTEM Determine the amount of cryotek product needed in system by multiplying total system capacity in gallons by the concentration factor of cryotek 100/AL, product (first column in each chart above).

Total System Capacity (gal) X Concentration Factor of cryotek product = Amount of cryotek product to be used (gal) 5. CHARGING THE SYSTEM System should be completely empty with burner and pump shut off. All internal valves, including zone valves, should be open. THE ENTIRE SYSTEM SHOULD BE OPEN TO PREVENT ANY AREA OF IT FROM BEING ISOLATED. First, add the computed amount of cryotek product. Second, add water if necessary. The system can be filled using one of the following two alternatives. The main objective is to fill the system with little or no air trapped in it.

A. After providing for an air exit, pump solution into boiler through the boiler drain valve using a small pump. B. Pour solution through a removed air vent at the HIGHEST point in the system.

6. PURGE THE AIR IN SYSTEM Since air (which includes oxygen) trapped in a system not only results in inefficiencies in the operating of the system (wasted energy and excessive noise), it can also cause corrosion. To prevent this, the system, once filled, needs to be purged of all air.

3 cryotek 100/AL The above chart differs from cryotek 100. Cryotek 100 is based on actual freeze numbers developed at NJIT. The cryotek 100/ AL chart above is based on using the Dow tables at 60% PG. /Delta Pumpable Down to protection levels are estimated and are dependent on system and equipment. Attempting to circulate fluid below freeze point may overload and/or cause pump failure.

7. TEST THE SYSTEM Once installed and fully operational, use Hercules Refractometer and pH Meter or Cryotek Test Strips to test fluid to assure proper freeze and corrosion protection. Note: An automotive coolant tester will not work with cryotek or other propylene glycol antifreeze mixtures.

8. MAINTENANCE Systems with Cryotek 100/AL installed should be tested annually for product concentration and inhibitor levels usingHercules Refractometer and pH Meter (or, less accurately Hercules Test Strips). If Cryotek 100/A

L concentration levels are low, add Cryotek 100/A L using the following formula:

Be sure to drain adequate fluid from system before adding the additional Cryotek 100/AL. The proprietary inhibitor used in Hercules Cryotek 100/AL has an exceptionally long life expectancy. The pH of the system solution should always be between 7. 0 and 8. 5. If the corrosion inhibitor tests low, add one 8 oz. container of Cryotek Inhibitor in accordance with inhibitor labelinstructions for every 20 gallons of fluid capacity of the system. If the total system capacity is less than 20 gallons, add

one 8 oz. container of Cryotek 100/AL Inhibitor. If after inhibitor addition and thorough system mixing, the corrosioninhibitor pH still tests low, add another 8 oz. container of Cryotek 100/A

L Inhibitor for every 20 gallons of systemcapacity. If after this addition the inhibitor still tests low, the system should be drained, cleaned, and recharged with

fresh Cryotek 100/AL.
