With the arrival of the winter months, the ambient temperature decreases, increasing the risk of freezing of the water inside the exchanger. Freezing of the water in exchangers is one of the biggest problems that can occur in your system. In water-cooled evaporators, water circulates between the body and the heat transfer pipes. When the water inside the evaporator freezes, its volume increases, which can lead to crushing or deformation of the copper pipes.
As Refkar Cooling, we recommend the use of Anti-Freeze during the intense winter months to prevent freezing events in the system. It is advised to follow the table below when using Anti-Freeze.
