2 Terms usedAntifreeze with corrosion inhibitor:Component of the Coolant for combustion engines ascorrosion and antifreeze protection, for lowering thefreezing point as well as raising the boiling point. Can alsobe called "concentrate". Must be used with water as perchapter , KM:Mixture of antifreeze with corrosion inhibitor and water forcooling engines. Coolants normally consist of antifreezewith corrosion inhibitor and additives:Anticorrosion agent that can be used for specialapplications mixed with water. The mixture has noantifreeze protection!MB approval:Marking of the coolants or antifreezes/anti-corrosionadditives that are tested by Daimler AG and approved forthe corresponding use, see table and 2.

OverviewTables , and 2 provide an overview on the use of theapproved antifreezes/anti-corrosion additives and themaximum change intervals. These coolants have thefollowing characteristics: Ensure heat transfer Long-term corrosion and cavitation protection for allcomponents of the cooling system Ensure antifreeze protection Increase boiling point Resistant against microorganisms Effective foam suppressionVehicles with combustion engine are defined in theassignment via the engine model series, see tables sheet numbers show the antifreezes withcorrosion inhibitor.

The water quality must satisfy the requirements inthe following with extremely low ambient temperatures, not morethan 55 antifreeze with corrosion inhibitor is to beused.

8 With 55 % by volume of antifreeze with corrosioninhibitor, the max. antifreeze protection (approx. 45 C) ofan aqueous ethylene glycol solution is reached. A higherantifreeze with corrosion inhibitor rate reduces theantifreeze protection and the heat dissipation in the engine,this can lead to irrevocable 4: Target concentration of antifreeze with corrosion inhibitor and waterSheet ratioConcentrate % by volume Water % by special cases (commercial-vehicle engines, noantifreeze specification ) Coolant additives can be used thatare primarily corrosion protection - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -4.

9 Water qualityClean and the softest possible water should be used forprocessing the Coolant . Drinking water often satisfies therequirements. Information concerning the water quality ofdrinking water is available from the local water-plantauthorities or the official water utilities on there is no available information regarding the waterquality or if no suitable water is available, then distilled ordeionized water should be used to prepare the water, brackish water, brine and industrial waters arenot suitable. Salts may promote corrosion or formdisruptive analysis values of the water for mixing coolants mustbe within the limits of table 5.
