DIRECTIONS FOR USE
1. CLEAN THE SYSTEM - It is recommended that any system, whether new or existing, be thoroughly cleaned prior
to being charged with Cryo-Tek products. Any system contaminated with dirt and other materials reduces
efficiency and wears the system prematurely. New systems need to be free of flux, solder residue, grease and
any foreign particles. Most boiler manufacturers recommend cleaning new systems with a solution of Tri-Sodium
Phosphate (TSP), or Hercules Boiler and Heating System Cleaner (Follow instructions on container). Existing
systems need to be flushed and cleaned to eliminate any build-up of rust, scale, lime and other non-organic
matter. These systems should be cleaned with an inhibited hydrochloric acid such as Hercules Sizzle (except
aluminum systems, check with boiler manufacturer). All systems should be checked for leaks prior to installation
of any Cryo-Tek product.
2. MEASURE THE TOTAL CAPACITY OF THE SYSTEM using one of the following methods
DIRECT METHOD
A. Fill system completely, making sure all components of system are full.
B. Shut system down, let pressure drop to a safe level.
C. Drain out fluid into suitable container and record the number of gallons removed. This is TOTAL SYSTEM
FLUID CAPACITY.
ESTIMATION METHOD
A. Determine system pope sizes and amount of linear footage for each size. Using Table I, calculate the
volume of the system piping.
B. Add this number to the gallon capacity of the boiler or equipment in the system to determine the TOTAL
SYSTEM FLUID CAPACITY.

3. SELECT DESIRED TEMPERATURE COVERAGE
Using Table II determine protection level desired and match it to the appropriate Cryo-Tek product
concentration.

*Pumpable down to protection levels are estimated and are dependent on system and equipment. Attempting to circulate fluid below
freeze point may overload and/or cause pump failure
4. DETERMINE AMOUNT OF CRYO-TEK PEODUCT REQUIRED IN SYSTEM
Determine the amount of Cryo-Tek product needed in system by multiplying total system capacity in gallons by
the concentration factor of Cryo-Tek product (first column in each chart above).
Total System Capacity (gal) X Concentration Factor of Cryo-Tek Product (%) = Amount of Cryo-Tek Product to be used (gal)
