Recycled Coolant
“Green” thinking, environmentally conscious customers,

while still desiring value and performance, represent
opportunities for environmentally friendly products.
And, the General Services Administration in the U.S. has
mandated that recycled products like engine coolants be
used whenever possible and are preferred over the use
of coolants blended from virgin glycol stocks.
Together, this represents sales opportunities for Fleetcool
Recycled Coolant.

Objective 1:
To become familiar with the
cooling system and its
challenges.
Objective 1: To become familiar with the cooling system
and its challenges.
Today’s diesel engines are

producing more horsepower than
ever before, and they are doing it
with less engine size and weight.
Lighter engines mean greater
payloads for trucking and other
related industries.
6
and its challenges.
This horsepower relates directly to

heat generation, and the task of
controlling this heat falls to the
cooling system.
7
and its challenges.
The cooling system performs 4

functions. It is designed to:
Absorb,
Circulate,
Dissipate and
Control the heat
8
and its challenges.
All diesel engines with wet liners

are subject to liner pitting. It is
very important for us to
understand what causes this
pitting or cavitation corrosion, as
it is known in the industry.
9
and its challenges.
Liner vibration is the direct cause

of liner pitting, and with proper
maintenance practices and
products, liner pitting can be
controlled.
LINER PITTING or Cavitation Corrosion

caused by imploding vapor bubbles will drill
a hole through the liner wall.
Shock wave impact measured at
15,000 to 20,000 PSI
10
and its challenges.
In addition to liner pitting there are

other concerns or problems that
can occur effecting cooling
system efficiency and engine
performance. Of these,
Corrosion is a major factor.
11
and its challenges.
This corrosion can lead to poor

performance of the cooling
system itself, and costly repairs
or parts replacement.
12
and its challenges.
Another concern is with poor

quality water and scale buildup
caused by excessive levels of
dissolved calcium or magnesium
salts.
13
and its challenges.
Scale can prevent proper heat

dissipation through the liner, and
restrict coolant flow in radiator or
cooler passages.
14
and its challenges.
All of these concerns can, and

must be controlled by a quality
coolant, and specific
maintenance practices.
Poor coolant and poor

maintenance practices
relates to higher operating
15 costs!

Recycled Coolant
The General Services
Administration has mandated
that recycled products like
engine coolants be used
whenever possible and are
preferred over the use of
coolants blended from virgin
glycol stocks.
Recycled Coolants are suitable

for many government contracts
and bids.
18
Coolant.
Used Coolant can contain the

following contaminants:
Water/glycols
– Soluble salts (corrosives &
residual inhibitors)
– Oils
– Dye
– Metals
– Trace hydrocarbons
19
Coolant.
Cummins Filtration has partnered with

an independent company that
exclusively produces recycled
coolants and understands the
challenges of removing these
contaminants.
20
Coolant.
Through a specialized step-by-step,

technologically advance process,
the coolant is cleaned, stripped of
all contaminants and re-inhibited
with chemicals to provide proper
engine protection.
21
Coolant.
• The used coolant is first pre-treated

to remove these contaminants
• This pre-treatment includes many
steps
22
Coolant.
Recycled Coolant Process

First, the oil contamination is
removed through a gravity
separation process
There is no trace of remaining oil
contamination
23
Coolant.

After oil separation, a physical-
chemical process uses
precipitation, adsorption, and
media-assisted filtration to
remove metals, soluble oil, trace
hydrocarbons, dyes, and
particles down to1µm.
24
Coolant.

The next and most important
process for recycling the coolant
is High Efficiency Electro
Dialysis (HEED™)
It produces a glycol/water
solution that is nearly the same
as virgin (new) EG and distilled
water
25
Objective 2: To become familiar with Fleetcool Recycle
Coolant.

This is the base product that is
then re-inhibited with a specific
additive package, depending on
the final coolant product.
26

This multi-stage process ensures a
superior quality product suitable
for many markets and
customers.

Many customers have the
concern that if they use a
recycled product, disposal and
pick up could be a problem, but
that is not the case with
Fleetcool Recycled Coolant Note:
Cummins Filtration does not
provide used coolant pickup or
disposal service.

It is recommended to use
Fleetcool Recycled Coolant in
accordance with the engine
manufacturer’s standard coolant
change guidelines
Typically this is 2 years, 6000
hours or 250,000 miles (400,000
kilometers)

Cooling System Testing:
Use the Fleetguard 3-Way™ Test

Strips for liner pitting
protection and freeze point
testing.
– CC2602 – Bottle 50 Strips
– CC2602A – Single Pack
of 4 Strips
– CC2602B – Single Pack –

44
Cooling System Testing and

Re-inhibition
If the freeze point must be

lowered, simply add Fleetcool
EG Concentrate
For normal coolant loss,
replenish the system with
Fleetcool Recycled Premix
Coolant
45

At the service interval, to
determine if enough SCA’s are
present in Fleetcool Recycled
Coolant, use the 3-Way™ test
strip
You will monitor the Nitrite level
only with this kit as there is no
Molybdate in the Fleetcool
Recycled Coolant (unless added
with the DCA4 SCA’s)

Re-inhibition
To re-inhibit the SCA’s add the

appropriate amount of DCA2
per bottle directions.
