32、ully formulated prediluted heavy dutycoolant.X1.1.1 Water:X1.1.1.1 Water quality affects the efficiency of coolantadditives. When untreated, all water is corrosive. Water havinga high mineral content or corrosive materials is unfit forcooling system use.X1.1.1.2 When preparing coolant mixtures, the
33、watershould be of such quality that it does not contain excessivesolids, hardness salts, sulfates, or chlorides. In the absence ofspecific recommendations from the engine or vehicle manu-facture, see Table X1.1. Contact your local water department,the responsible government agency, or submit a water
34、 samplefor analysis if there is a question on water quality.X1.1.2 Coolant Concentrates:X1.1.2.1 The coolant concentration should be maintainedbetween 50 and 60 % glycerin by volume, depending on theengine operating environment. Freeze protection shall beprovided in accordance with Table X1.2.X1.1.3
35、 Prediluted Engine Coolants:X1.1.3.1 Prediluted glycerin base engine coolants (50 vol-ume % minimum) should be used without further dilution. Ifadditional freeze protection is required, coolant concentratemay be added to the prediluted engine coolant to increase thetotal glycerin content in the cool
36、ing system (see Table X1.2).X1.1.4 Supplemental Coolant Additive:X1.1.4.1 SCAs extend the life of the coolant by replenishingthe additives that deplete during normal operation. SCAs,however, do not extend the freeze protection provided by thecoolant concentrate.X1.1.4.2 Heavy-duty engine users exper

User experience and published informationshows the presence of nitrite in an SCA or fully-formulatedheavy-duty coolant is particularly effect
