Monitoring the coolant's additive health is very important. Additives help improve the characteristics of the coolant by reducing the corrosive nature of the fluid. Most of these addi- tives anchor themselves to the metals in the cooling system and build up a film to help reduce any corrosion due to water or acids in the coolant. As with any fluid containing additives, the health of these molecules becomes essential to ensure that the system operates as efficiently and as effectively as possible. As you can see, there are many variables to consider when performing coolant analysis. A number of laboratories offer this type of analysis as part of their standard package, but trending the data is an absolute must. Samples should be taken routinely and in a consistent manner so the data coming from the lab is trendable and so the reports can be used to create a plan of action.
