5 Ways We Consider Temperature in Our Heat Transfer Fluids

by Aug 29, 2024Blended Insights

When it comes to heat transfer fluids, temperature matters. From protecting your system against sub-zero temperatures to keeping microbial threats at bay over its entire temperature range, selecting a heat pump fluid formulated to perform in all conditions is key to achieving low running costs.
In recognition of World Refrigeration Day’s #TemperatureMatters, we’re covering the five ways we prioritized temperature when developing our range of heat transfer fluids to help harness the full potential of renewable heating and cooling systems.

Freeze Protection

Ensuring heat pump and chiller systems can safely operate at temperatures below 0°C is essential for protecting these systems. However, with their high viscosity, most antifreeze mixtures add extra parasitic pumping loads. With this in mind, we developed our bespoke glycol blends to protect heat pump systems at low ambient temperatures while maintaining their high performance and market-leading low viscosity.

Thermal Conductivity

The most important characteristic of a heat transfer fluid is its thermal conductivity and its ability to transfer heat. We engineered our range of fluids to achieve market-leading thermal conductivity. Whether you need to achieve specified temperatures for optimal cold storage or require efficient and effective heating, our range of Coolblend and Thermablend fluids has been formulated to transfer heat energy efficiently.

Highly Stable Biocide

Our Coolblend and Thermablend ranges can be offered with pre-mixed biocide designed to eliminate and prevent bacterial growth. This will help maintain system efficiency and prolong the life of the heating system. We’ve ensured our specially selected biocide remains highly stable across a broad temperature range for ongoing heat pump performance and heat transfer efficiency.

Effective Multi-Metal Inhibitor

Our Thermablend and Coolblend fluids contain multi-metal corrosion and scale inhibitors that remain effective throughout the idle and operational temperatures of closed-loop heating and cooling systems. These NSF-approved inhibitors continue to provide protection over a wide range of temperatures, from heating to process cooling, ensuring system longevity and reduced maintenance, whatever the application.

Energy Saving

At Blended Fluids, we’re not only conscious about how effectively our fluids reach the desired temperature but also about the impact our fluids have on the temperature of our climate. In the pursuit of a sustainable future, we developed our heat transfer fluids with efficiency at their core, so you can get the most out of your closed-loop heat distribution systems. With their low parasitic pumping loads and relatively high thermal conductivity, we formulate our Thermablend and Coolblend fluids to perform their purpose using the minimum amount of energy. This all helps in the battle against carbon emissions.
