Aluminum Dosing Overview

© 2 S729 03:00
A compatibility issue exists between aluminum radiators and OAT coolants that contain nitrites. New aluminum radiators require Cat Coolant Conditioner for Aluminum
Components (CCAC) to be added to the coolant to passivate the radiator. CCAC Passivation creates an oxidation coating on the aluminum that prevents the nitrites in the
coolant from reacting with aluminum in the radiator. Without passivation, the nitrite content in the coolant will deplete over time. The nitrites in the coolant help to protect

024 6
against cylinder liner pitting in the engine, prevents color fade in the coolant, and ammonia odor.

The chemical process that protects the nitrite in the solution will occur within 50 to 200 hours of operation. The CCAC is available from your local Caterpillar dealer. Refer to

Cat
Table 4 below for a list of part numbers for various container volumes.

Instruction on Determining the correct Dosage


erp
Note: This Special Instruction applies only when an Organic Acid Technology (OAT) Extended Life Coolant (ELC) that contains nitrites (for example, Cat ELC and

illa
Cat ELI) is used in aluminum core radiators. This Special Instruction does not apply to conventional coolants similar to Cat DEAC, or machine applications with

r In
only copper radiators.

Remove the coolant fill cap, and dispense the appropriate amount of CCAC directly into the cooling system. It is not necessary to begin immediate operation of the engine to

c.
circulate and mix the conditioner with the coolant.

The dosage amounts are based on core technology of Bar Plate vs. Tube Fin. Aluminum modular radiator (AMR) is a modular form of a tube fin radiator (same dosing). The
graphics below help in visual inspection to determine which table of dosing is correct.

If cooling package has multiple bar plate or tube fin cores, adjust recommend CCAC dosing in the table based on number of cores replaced

Example listed below:

150 L system volume with 3 bar plate

Identified the proper table to use per the pictures of core technology & key identifying features

Table references qty: 1 of 2.5oz bottle and 3 of the 1.5 oz bottle = total of 7 oz CCAC dosing

Required CCAC dosing = (CCAC Table) x (Qty of Cores Replaced) / (Total Cores in System)

Required CCAC dosing = (7 oz) x (1/3) = 2.3 oz
