Sentinel R600 - Mitsubishi Electric ecodan PUHZ-W50VHA2 User Manual

Sentinel R600

Thermal Fluid for Air Source Heat Pump systems:
Effectively controls corrosion and scale
Suitable for all metals including aluminium
Effective frost protection
Low toxicity
Manufactured under a quality system conforming to ISO9001
Easy to handle
Application
Sentinel R600 is a multi-purpose inhibited anti-freeze formulated to prevent corrosion and scale in Air Source Heat
Pump systems including those containing aluminium components. If minimum levels are maintained the product
ensures a permanent protection and does not need to be replaced. Sentinel R600 is suitable for use in all waters,
both hard and soft. The low toxicity formulation is a clear blue liquid which is easy to handle and dose.
Dosing and feeding
The dosage of the Sentinel R600 will depend on the level of frost protection required. One 20 litre pail of Sentinel
R600 added to a typical Air Source Heat Pump system will provide the minimum concentration of corrosion and
scale inhibitor and also protection from freezing down to approximately 10°C. Two 20 litre pails will provide
protection to 30°C. Further information is available upon request.
If there is any doubt above the volume of the system the degree of frost protection achieved by dosing the Sentinel
R600 can be checked by using the FrostCheck Test Kit. For best results, it is recommended that systems are
cleansed and flushed; new systems and those up to 6 months old with Sentinel X300, existing systems with Sentinel
X300, existing systems with Sentinel X400 or Sentinel X800 Jetflo.
To ensure the system is sanitised before the introduction of Sentinel R600 it is advisable to add 1 litre of Sentinel
R700 Santiser and Biocide during the initial fill of the system with water to prevent the development of bacteria and
fungi and their associated problems. Circulate the system for 30 minutes to ensure complete distribution through
the whole system.
