6 reasons why raw or untreated glycol antifreeze should not be used in closed loop systems
Glycol-based fluids are commonly used in closed loop cooling and heating systems due to their excellent thermal transfer properties, and ability to prevent freezing in low-temperature environments. However, using uninhibited (untreated, raw) glycol presents significant challenges that can compromise the efficiency, longevity, and safety of the system.
