SOS COOLANT ANALYSIS - PAGE 1
It pays to monitor your coolantAlmost everyone recognizes the need for regular oil and filter changes, but many people overlook cooling system maintenance and monitoring. The cooling system is critical to the efficient performance and long life of your diesel engine. Proper cooling affects many machine systems, including the transmission and hydraulics, which are cooled by heat exchangers. With SOS coolant analysis, your CAT Dealer offers a quick, low-cost way to evaluate the effectiveness of your coolant, check for contaminants and monitor the condition of the cooling system and other major engine systems. S.O S coolant analysis is performed by trained technicians who are cooling system experts, so you can count on accurate, dependable lab results, interpretations and recommendations.  Investing in performance S O S coolant analysis can quickly pay for itself in improved efficiency, longer component life, fewer repairs and less downtime. Instead of allowing components to fail, you become aware of problems early, before major repairs are needed. S O S coolant analysis is an excellent equipment management tool that allows you to identify shortcomings in operational practices and maintenance procedures. It saves money by permitting you to optimize your coolant drain intervals. Keep it cool and keep it running right Engines are the most likely to suffer from cooling problems. For example, overheating can reduce the lubricating properties of engine oil, leading to excessive wear and failure of rings, liners, bearings and valves. In hydraulic systems, overheating can oxidize and deplete additives in hydraulic oil, resulting in valve wear, shorter pump life and seal failure.  When transmission oil becomes overheated, clutch slippage increases, reducing transmission life.All of these systems depend on a properly maintained and efficient cooling system to function at optimum levels. SOS coolant analysis helps you achieve this goal. Left undetected, corrosion (as shown on this cylinder liner) can cause costly damage and downtime. Even Extended Lid Coolant needs maintenance CAT Extended Life Coolant (ELC) is specially engineered to reduce maintenance by lasting twice as long as the previous Diesel Engine Antifreeze/ Coolant (DEAC). However, this does not exempt ELC users from monitoring and maintaining their cooling systems. In fact, the longer the coolant remains in the engine, the more important it is to evaluate the coolant at regular intervals. While ELC performs significantly better than DEAC, maintenance and operational problems can destroy any coolant (and your engine) if not caught in time.  Click here for more information
