Cooling system and heating

 Separate characteristics are provided also in the text of the Head and in case of obligation of their performance are highlighted in bold type.

Design

Thermosiphon with the bladed water pump. Thermostatic adjustment. With a separate broad tank. The fan with the electric drive, joins and switched off from the control unit

Cooling liquid: mix of soft water and antifreeze (1:1), at such structure is provided frost resistance to –37 °C

Antifreeze

MB No. Q1 03 0002 or Glysantin Protect Plus/G482

Pressure in system

About 1.2 atm. (the exact size is specified on a cover of a broad tank). The cover has to maintain pressure within two minutes.
