Table 1
Formula For Adding ELC Extender To ELC
V × 0.02 = X
V is the total capacity of the cooling system.
X is the amount of ELC Extender that is required. Table 2 is an example for using the formula that is in Table 1.
Table 2
Example Of The Equation For Adding ELC Extender To ELC(1)
Total Volume of the Cooling System (V) Multiplication Factor Amount of ELC Extender that is Required (X)
9 L (2.4 US gal) × 0.02 0.18 L (0.05 US gal) or (6 fl oz)
(1) This example is based on the capacity of a C2.2 Generator Set with a cooling system capacity of 9 L (2.4 US gal).
When using Cat ELC, do not use standard SCA's or SCA filters. To avoid SCA contamination of an ELC system, remove the SCA filter base and plug off or by-pass the coolant lines.
ELC Cooling System Cleaning
Note: If the cooling system is already using ELC, cleaning agents are not required to be used at the specified coolant change interval. Cleaning agents are only required if the system has been contaminated by the addition of some other type of coolant or by cooling system damage.Clean water is the only cleaning agent that is required when ELC is drained from the cooling system.ELC can be recycled. The drained coolant mixture can be distilled in order to remove the ethylene glycol and the water. The ethylene glycol and the water can be reused. Consult your Caterpillar dealer for more information.After the cooling system is drained and after the cooling system is refilled, operate the engine while the cooling system filler cap is removed. Operate the engine until the coolant level reaches the normal operating temperature and until the coolant level stabilizes. As needed, add the coolant mixture in order to fill the system to the proper level.Changing to Caterpillar ELC
To change from heavy-duty coolant/antifreeze to the Caterpillar ELC, perform the following steps:
Care must be taken to ensure that fluids are contained during performance of inspection, maintenance, testing, adjusting and repair of the product. Be prepared to collect the fluid with suitable containers before opening any compartment or disassembling any component containing fluids.Refer to Special Publication, NENG2500, "Caterpillar Dealer Service Tool Catalog" for tools and supplies suitable to collect and contain fluids on Caterpillar products.Dispose of all fluids according to local regulations and mandates.
Drain the coolant into a suitable container.
Dispose of the coolant according to local regulations.
Do not leave an empty SCA filter on an ELC system.The filter housing may corrode and leak causing an engine failure.Remove the SCA filter base and plug off or by-pass the coolant lines.
Remove the empty SCA filter and remove the filter base. Plug the coolant lines or bypass the coolant lines.
Flush the system with clean water in order to remove any debris.
Use Caterpillar cleaner to clean the system. Follow the instruction on the label.
Drain the cleaner into a suitable container. Flush the cooling system with clean water.
Fill the cooling system with clean water and operate the engine until the engine is
