2-16 General Information

Coolant Treatment: See Figure 2-13.

1.

Engine coolant should be treated with a Diesel Coolant Additive (DCA) to minimize

corrosion of the engine and cooling system components. A 50/50 ethylene glycol

antifreeze solution is recommended for all genset engines. This will provide freeze

protection and increase the boiling point of the engine coolant. A solution can be

increased to 65%. Do not exceed 65% as freeze protection begins to diminish at 65%.

2.

It is recommended that the consultant specify Baldor supplied DCA and water filters,

and Baldor antifreeze.

3.

When the proper solution concentration of antifreeze is used with radiators (engine

mounted as well as remote mounted), and hot well systems, the system will be

adequately protected from freeze–up.
