Coolant's primary purpose is to lubricate and cool the work surface and tooling.

 

Each coolant works best for a given application at a recommended concentration of it to water.

 

Monitor the initial coolant charge, then each day, as evaporation increases concentration at the sump level.

 

Maintaining the recommended concentration is essential to prevent problems.

Determining Coolant Refill Percentage

 

Let's say you want to maintain a 5% concentration in your sump. You currently measure 8%, and the 50 gallon sump is only half full. This means you have to add another 25 gallons. But if you add 25 gallons at 5%, your entire sump will then have a concentration of 6.5% - not 5. What do you do? The calculations are shown below. Please feel free to give us or one of our many knowledgeable distributors a call if you have any questions.

 

1.       What's the real amount of concentrate in your ideal 5% sump?

= 2.5 gallons

 

2.       How much refill concentrate do you need?

= 0.5 gallons

 

3.       What is the concentration for the 25 gallons of refill?

= 0.5 gal of concentrate ÷ 25 gallons of fluid required

= .02, or 2% concentration.
