2.8 Coolant type
The pump is supplied filled with BOC Edwards coolant which is monopropylene based, and is both an PAGE

antifreeze and a corrosion inhibitor. Spare BOC Edwards coolant is available: refer to Section 7.3. If you
will use another coolant type to replenish lost coolant:
TECHNICAL DATA
It must prevent the formation of visible oxide sludge and scale deposits.
It must provide frost protection down to a temperature of 7 oF, when mixed in accordance with
the manufacturers recommendations.
It must be compatible with the materials of construction of the cooling-jacket; that is: SG iron,
copper, brass and fluoroelastomer (Viton) seals.
It must comply with the requirements of BS 6580-1992 and BS 5117.
It must be based on monopropylene glycol or ethylene glycol fluid.
It must not contain amines.
The coolants shown in Table 8 may be suitable for use in the EDP pumps. All of these coolants are
amine free, automotive grade, ethylene glycol antifreezes and must be diluted to between 35% to 50%
by volume with water to provide the required cooling protection. However, we recommend that you
use BOC Edwards coolant; BOC Edwards cannot guarantee that other types of coolant will provide the
best corrosion protection for the pump.
