As the glycol degrades the acids formed reduce the “reserve alkalinity” of the glycol. The reserve alkalinity protects your system from corrosion by buffering it to prevent the pH from dropping. Systems that do not have adequate reserve alkalinity will quickly experience a substantial pH drop causing the glycol to become acidic and resulting in elevated corrosion to the system. Once this happens, the glycol is quickly contaminated with corrosion products resulting in the need to replace the glycol and clean the system. Depending on the severity of the corrosion other maintenance or equipment replacement may also be required.
