    40% glycol solution and ton of refigeration

    I am trying to work out if you can use the rule of thumb formula for tonnage when using 40% glycol. ton = gpm X delta T / 24. This is translated to ton = gpm X delta T X 500 / 12000 or ton = gpm X delta T X Sp Gravity of fluid X Sp Heat of fluid X 60 / 12000 Well for water every thing is great...
