CoolCheck 2 provides fleet owners reliable coolant system analysis

Spectro Scientific’s CoolCheck 2 Coolant Analyzer provides analytical results on nine key parameters in easy-to-understand reports for use by mechanics.

Cooling systems play a vital role in preserving the overall engine heat balance and in protecting engine components against corrosion and other problems. Machinery and Lubrication magazine has estimated that 60% of engine downtime in the commercial sector is cooling system-related. Understanding the condition of the coolant is critical in maintaining the cooling system operation.

This compact touch-screen analyzer uses broadband spectrometry to automatically test coolant parameters in less than a minute. The programmed expert system compares data with known coolant system conditions to grade results as normal, abnormal, or severe with easy-to-read color-coded alarms. CoolCheck 2 generates a printed report that identifies the type of coolant used, clarity, color, contamination level, nitrite level, boil and freeze points and percent glycol. The analyzer also measures the urea level in diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) that is a key component in the exhaust system required to meet emissions regulations.

The CoolCheck 2 analysis allows service technicians to make an informed decision on the health of coolant and DEF along with necessary maintenance recommendations while the vehicle is in the shop. The test data can be printed or wirelessly transmitted to the company’s LubeTrak data management and storage software.

CoolCheck was originally developed and introduced by On-Site Analysis, a company acquired by Spectro Scientific in November 2014.

Its plug-and-play design requires no installation, training or maintenance, making it suitable for fluid analysis by fleet owner-operators and service providers for light- and heavy-duty truck fleets.
