Assume that you have a 25wt% solution of EG. That means you have 25 kg for every 100 kg of solution. Assuming that the EG is dissolved in water means that the solution would contain 25 kg of EG and 75 kg of water. To find the volume % you need to convert each component to a volume by using their densities. The density of water is 1000 kg/m3 and EG is 1113 kg/m3. Using this data we can figure out the volume of each component of solution. For water: 75 kg / (1000 kg/m3) = 0.075 m3 For EG: 25 kg/(1113 kg/m3) = 0.0225 m3 %Vol = 0.0225 m3 / (0.0225 + 0.075 m3) = 0.231 or 23.1% vol

What does ethylene do to the solution in a vehicles radiator?

Ethylene glycol mixed up to 50% with water, lowers the freezing point of the mixture, while remaining an excellent heat transfer medium. It protects the engine from either freezing or from overheating.

How do you use a glycol chiller in my brewery?

Glycol chiller used when beer brewing. This tasked with cooling the propylene glycol. its a food grade anti freeze which require to cool food products.But there are some restriction to use propylene and must to follow the USP grade.Its need chiller system which evolve with compressor, evaporator,condenser and pump. You can read a article from kinnek.com where lot of information available about glycol chiller.

What should be specification of monoethyleneglycol to be used with water as brine for industrial system?

brine is salt and water usually 100% saturation salt and water freezes at about zero degrees F (non toxic) but rather hard on steel or iron. ethylene-glycol and water at 50/50 mix is about -60 f (very toxic) good with metals propylene glycol and water 50/50 about -40 and a bit toxic good with metal brine is rather cheap salt $30/ton if you live near an ocean and have a bucket real cheap all the others are from big oil and expensive but dont hurt metal water has the highest specific heat of common materials and as such is the best refrigerant

What is the viscosity of antifreeze?

The specific heat of antifreeze varies greatly with temperature and the percent concentration of ethylene glycol (antifreeze). At room temperature, 100 percent concentration of ethylene glycol will have a specific heat of about .59 to .58. This value varies greatly from the specific heat of water. Most commercial antifreeze is about 95 % concentration of ethylene glycol.
