Drive Coolant Requirements
Recommended Coolants
The table below lists approved sources and recommended coolants with appropriate corrosion inhibitors
for the drive loop:
Non-premixed coolants require a coolant-to-water mix ratio of 50% by volume.
Important: Since coolant performance slowly degrades over time, the drive loop coolant should be replaced every two years
and/or whenever the loop is drained for servicing.
Corrosion Inhibitor
If an approved coolant is not used, the drive coolant must consist of clean water with a corrosion inhibitor. An approved
corrosion inhibitor is Chemtool, Inc. (www.chemtool.com) part number Watertool 4435-C. The recommended
concentration of the inhibitor is 8-10% by volume. Deionized water is prohibited. Use distilled water or water with less
than 50 ppm concentrations of:
• Sulfate and chloride
• Hard water ions such as Mg++ and Ca++
Ethylene and propylene glycols must be inhibited and silicate free. Use of common silicate-containing, automotive-type
ethylene glycol solutions is prohibited as they may damage the heat exchanger and/or drive and cooling module
equipment.
The drive coolant must be compatible with the following materials:
• Copper
•Brass
• Aluminum
• Arimid fiber gasket with nitrile binder (Garlock, Inc. Blue-Gard 3000
®
)

• Synthetic rubber hose (Parker Hannifan Corp 801 General Purpose Hose)
• Viton seal (Complete Drive only)
Biocide
A biocide may be needed to control biological growth. Use of a biocide is permitted. For specific recommendations,
consult a reputable water treatment company.
