Martechnic’s groundbreaking test device “MT COOLANT CHECK” provides a non-chemical and sustainable method for engine coolant analysis in on-board predictive maintenance programs. Instead of the traditional full-scale testing of individual coolant parameters (chlorides, nitrite additives, pH etc.) with different chemicals, predominantly classified as hazardous products for the environment, the “MT COOLANT CHECK” utilizes the electrotechnical apparatus, with constant (corrosion resistant) and working/ changeable (corrosion-prone) electrodes in a simulated engine cooling system. No chemicals are required at all for the fully automatic assessment of the overall anti-corrosive performance of the coolant in use. The remaining corrosion protection of the engine coolant in use is determined with a new unit of measurement: Lagner (lag).

Application of less resource-intensive and easily recyclable steel and stainless steel electrodes for testing is not only innovative, but also allows the reduction of the risk of environmental contamination and protection of aquatic life by avoiding hazardous chemicals. Martechnic’s environmentally friendly approach contributes to eliminating chemical waste and extending electrode usability with no shelf life concerns, supporting predictive maintenance, and reducing unnecessary resource use. Overall, chemical free engine coolant testing with the “MT COOLANT CHECK” enables achieving a lower carbon footprint compared to conventional chemical test kits and contributes to minimizing environmental impact and fostering industry-wide eco-friendly practices. |
