The Glycol Myth Why Your Pipes Might Freeze Anyway! Boiler Room Detective

Описание: Is glycol really protecting your heating system—or giving you a false sense of security?
On this chilling episode of Boiler Room Detective, I investigate a freezing classroom, split copper pipes, and a glycol system that should have worked—but didn’t. Join me as I uncover why this school's heating system failed despite having propylene glycol... or so they thought.
We’ll dive into:
• Why glycol must be tested annually
• How degraded glycol causes corrosion and leaks
• Efficiency losses with glycol (5–10%)
• The difference between ethylene and propylene glycol
• Real-world tips for hydronic heating systems in freezing climates
🚨 If you use glycol in your hydronic loop, this video might save you thousands in repairs.
