工业上使用的乙二醇被广泛用于防止设备因腐蚀和冻结而损坏。本文介绍了这些二醇的正确使用，包括系统准备、流体安装和流体维护。讨论了使用二醇对系统运行的影响，以及克服传热下降的方法。还包括关于乙二醇和丙二醇水溶液物理性质的数据，腐蚀试验的典型结果，以及用于确定每种应用的乙二醇适当浓度的方法。引用:研讨会，ASHRAE Trans。，第95卷，第。2.

Industrially inhibited glycols are used extensively to provide protection against equipment damage due to corrosion and freezing. This paper describes the proper use of these glycols, including system preparation, fluid installation, and fluid maintenance. The impact of the use of glycols on the operation of the system is discussed along with methods for overcoming any declines in heat transfer. Also included are data on the physical properties of aqueous solutions of ethylene and propylene glycol typical results of corrosion tests, and methods to use for determining the appropriate concentration of glycol for each application.
