10.6. Frost protection 10.6.1. Water loop glycoling CAUTION The use of a glycol-based solution is the only effective frost-protection means The glycol-based water solution must be suffi ciently concentrated to ensure appropriate protection and prevent ice from forming. Take precautions when using non inert MEG antifreeze solutions (Mono Ethylene Glycol) or MPG (Mono Propylene Glycol).
10.6.3. Leaving water protection In case of low temperature setpoint or reduced water fl ow, the water loop must be protected against icing during the operation of the unit. Concentration must comply with the minimum water temperature of the installation. The choice of the type of glycol shall take in consideration the increase of pressure drops.
10.8. Heat insulation To guarantee proper energy effi ciency and compliance with current standards, water pipes passing through uninhabited zones should be properly lagged to retain heat. To achieve correct insulation with resistivity of 0,04 W/mK, lag the pipes with insulating material with a radial thickness between 25mm and 30 mm.
