摘要:
A recycling apparatus which preferably treats used antifreeze/coolant in four cycles is disclosed. The recycling apparatus includes a number of tanks for storing the antifreeze/coolant during the various treatment cycles, a number of containers for storing chemical reagents used to chemically treat the antifreeze/coolant and a number of filters used to capture impurities suspended in the treated antifreeze/coolant. During a fill cycle, the used antifreeze/coolant is introduced into a treatment tank and the concentration of the antifreeze/coolant is adjusted, if necessary, to a predefined range. During a mix cycle, the used antifreeze/coolant is mixed with various reagents to adjust the pH value, as well as to coagulate and flocculate the impurities. A reverse mixing and aspiration of the antifreeze/coolant in the tank during the mix cycle ensure that the reagents will mix well and react with the impurities in the used antifreeze/coolant to form a sludge. During a dormant cycle, the fluid in the tank is allowed to set, while the sludge is caused to rise to the top of the fluid. Finally, during a drain and filter cycle, the treated antifreeze/coolant is vacuum-drained from the treatment tank and is filtered and reinhibited before being stored in a storage tank. The treatment tank is preferably conically-shaped with a double step in its apex to assist the removal of sludge during the vacuum evacuation procedure.
摘要:
This invention relates to organic acid corrosion inhibitors for use in antifreeze coolant compositions. The corrosion inhibitors comprise a C.sub.8 mono-carboxylic acid component, or isomers and/or salts thereof, and a neo-decanoic acid, or isomers and/or salts thereof. The corrosion inhibitors of this invention provide improved corrosion protection to metal surfaces as compared to conventional inhibitors and provide surprisingly improved corrosion protection as compared to inhibitors containing only a single mono-carboxylic acid component.
摘要:
An antifreeze concentrate comprising an alcohol, buffer, silicate, and a silicate protecting agent comprising an alkane tetracarboxylic acid, preferably a 1, 2, 3, 4-alkane tetracarboxylic acid, and derivative thereof. The antifreeze concentrate may suitably be diluted with from about 10% to about 90% by weight of water based upon the weight of the concentrate, wherein the water may contain hard water cations without significant loss of soluble silicate species. The aqueous antifreeze compositions have particular utility as a composition for heat exchange systems, for example, those employed with internal combustion engines.
