BRACKET 2495616 - Caterpillar

Caterpillar provides Extended Life Coolant (ELC) for use in the following applications:
Heavy-duty spark ignited gas engines
Heavy-duty diesel engines
Automotive applicationsThe anti-corrosion package for Caterpillar ELC is different from the anti-corrosion package for other coolants. Caterpillar ELC is an ethylene glycol base coolant. However, Caterpillar ELC contains organic corrosion inhibitors and antifoam agents with low amounts of nitrite. Caterpillar ELC has been formulated with the correct amount of these additives in order to provide superior corrosion protection for all metals in engine cooling systems.ELC extends the service life of the coolant to 12000 service hours or six years. ELC does not require a frequent addition of a Supplemental Coolant Additive (SCA). An Extender is the only additional maintenance that is needed at 6000 service hours or one half of the ELC service life.ELC is available in a 1:1 premixed cooling solution with distilled water. The Premixed ELC provides freeze protection to −36 °C (−33 °F). The Premixed ELC is recommended for the initial fill of the cooling system. The Premixed ELC is also recommended for topping off the cooling system.ELC Concentrate is also available. ELC Concentrate can be used to lower the freezing point to −51 °C (−60 °F) for arctic conditions.Containers of several sizes are available. Consult your Caterpillar dealer for the part numbers.Note: Caterpillar developed the EC-1 specification. The EC-1 specification is an industry standard. The EC-1 specification defines all of the performance requirements that are needed for an engine coolant to be sold as an extended life coolant for Caterpillar engines. ELC can be used in most OEM engines of the following types: diesel, gasoline and natural gas. ELC meets the performance requirements of "ASTM D4985" and "ASTM D5345" for heavy-duty low silicate antifreeze/coolants. ELC also meets the performance requirements of "ASTM D3306" and "ASTM D4656" for automotive applications.
