NOTE
This fluid is used full strength to transfer heat from the
conversion heater to the solid carbon dioxide in the conversion
pressure vessel during conversion cycle of the unit. This fluid
is used at all ambient temperatures, due to the extreme cold of
the solid carbon dioxide being converted to liquid. Under no
circumstances is this fluid to be diluted with water or any other
substance. In this manual, references to 'heater fluid' refer to
MIL-A-11755C Arctic Type Antifreeze.
