PROTECT WITH COOLING SYSTEM PRODUCTS
Coolant filters protect your engine by trapping contaminants and distributing Supplemental Coolant Additives (SCAs) into your cooling system. Baldwin offers coolant filters with two SCA formulations to meet specific engine needs.
Baldwin offers coolant filters with two SCA formulations to meet specific engine needs.
Balanced Treatment for Ethylene Glycol (BTE™) is a direct replacement for DCA2 and is designed for systems operating with 30% to 60% ethylene/propylene glycol solutions.
Balanced Treatment Additive (BTA PLUS™) is a direct replacement for DCA4 and can be used in systems with antifreeze levels ranging from 0% to 60% ethylene/propylene glycol solutions.
Coolant filters are available without SCAs if the use of liquid BTE or BTA PLUS additives is preferred.
If your equipment does not currently have a coolant filter, Baldwin offers a remote-mount coolant filter base (CFB5000), which can be added to your system.
Engine by-products, liner movement, and the wear and tear of starting and stopping the engine combine to deplete SCAs. Keeping SCAs at levels necessary for protection of the cooling system requires frequent testing and a careful maintenance schedule.
CONTROLLED RELEASE COOLANT FILTERS
Controlled Release Coolant FilterThe Baldwin Filters Controlled Release Filters utilize a patented process that allows Supplement Coolant Additives to be released into your cooling system only when heat and coolant flow are present.
Our field tests show that the additives are released at an even rate. This is important because competitors’ filters can “dump” all the additives at once, potentially overcharging the system, leading to additive drop out.
The other extreme is not releasing enough additives towards the end of a maintenance period, thereby leaving the system vulnerable to cavitation erosion and corrosion.
The Baldwin Design
With the Baldwin Controlled Release products, all coolant is conditioned with coolant additives prior to being filtered. This ensures that no undissolved particles from the chemical mass can enter the system. It also ensures that the flow control orifice cannot be plugged.
Baldwin’s media is a high-capacity synthetic media designed to trap contaminants and maintain its structure through long service intervals.
FLEETSTRIP™ COOLANT TEST STRIPS
Baldwin Filters’ FleetStrip kit is a one-step way to test your cooling system. Equally important, it’s universal — making it easy to monitor any type of conventional coolant formulation.
The Baldwin Design
A heavy-duty diesel engine may run more hours in a year than a car engine will in its lifetime. This higher workload can cause additives in most commercial antifreezes to deplete at a much faster rate than they would in automotive use. This makes a periodic check of depletion rate and addition of supplemental additives vital to long engine life.
Baldwin Filters FleetStrip can be used to test both ethylene and propylene glycol antifreezes. It allows quick, accurate testing without having to know what base additives are in the coolant. The test strip method eliminates inaccurate readings caused by using a hydrometer to test propylene glycol antifreeze.
