HOW CRITICAL IS IT?

Coolant requirements for diesel engines are more severe than those of automotive engines. Diesel engines are designed to operate at higher temperatures and higher energy levels than engines in cars or small trucks. Today's heavy diesels produce a tremendous amount of power from a small package. Additionally, most of today's products rely on the engine's cooling system to absorb heat from the engine, transmission, and hydraulic oils. These factors increase the requirements and demands placed on the cooling system.

Used coolant disposal requirements have become more stringent and expensive. Used coolant disposal must be done in accordance with state, local, and federal laws. SOS Fluid Analysis customers may extend their coolant drain intervals, or recycle or recondition their coolant, thereby reducing their disposal charges.

 

Two-level Program which

Gives an indication of overall cooling system condition
Identifies issues with maintenance procedures and operational practices.
 

Level One: Basic Coolant Maintenance Check

Up to seven observational parameters and four analytical tests
Indicates major problems with coolant and predicts major system problems
Results can be used to determine if a Level Two analysis is required.

Level Two: Comprehensive Cooling System Analysis

Extensive chemical evaluation of coolant and its effects on the system itself
Identifies subtle system problems, identifies causes, and prioritizes issues
