How a Glycol Feeder Works
A glycol feeder continuously monitors system pressure within a closed-loop heating or cooling system. When pressure decreases due to minor fluid losses or maintenance activities, the feeder automatically pumps glycol solution into the system to restore the desired operating pressure.
Maintaining proper glycol concentration protects piping, pumps, valves, and heat exchangers from freezing, corrosion, and costly downtime while improving overall system efficiency.
