10.5.4 Measuring and calculating the deter‐ gent concentration
For a few detergents, the concentration must be precisely set. In this case, the water flow rate and the consumption of detergent must be meas‐ ured.
Calculating the predilution of the detergent in %
If the predilution is not indicated as a % value on the packaging of the detergent used, it can be determined as follows: Ratio value
1:1 = 50 %
1:2 = 33.3 %
1:3 = 25 %
1:5 = 16.6 %
1:10 = 9 %
Example: Calculation ratio value 1:2.
A = 1
B = 2
QR = Quantity of detergent used (in liters).
Q = 2 liters.
V = Pre-dilution of the cleaning agent (in %).
K = Concentration of the cleaning agent..
► If the calculated concentration differs from the
desired one: Reduce dosage at the dosing handle and repeat measurement and calcula‐ tion.
