When it comes to developing heat transfer fluids, temperature is fundamental. At Blended Products, we understand that keeping systems running efficiently, safely, and sustainably depends on how well fluids perform across a range of temperatures.

This is why our Blended Fluids range of heat transfer and maintenance fluids are tailored to meet the specific needs of HVAC, refrigeration, and other temperature sensitive industries.

We’re covering the five ways we prioritise temperature when developing our range of heat transfer fluids to help harness the full potential of renewable heating and cooling systems.

1. 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.

 

2. 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 reach specified temperatures for optimal cold storage or require efficient and effective heating, our range of Coolblend and Thermablend f luids has been formulated to transfer heat energy efficiently.

 

3. 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.

 

4. 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.

 

5. Energy saving

We’re not only conscious of 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.

 

Save up to 27% on your energy bills

Understanding the critical role temperature plays in system performance, we have partnered with SafeSol to distribute Delta-T, an advanced surfactant designed to significantly improve the thermal transfer efficiency of water-based cooling and heating systems. Delta-T uses a patented surfactant formula that reduces water’s surface tension, allowing it to penetrate surface cavities more effectively. This increases surface contact, enhancing thermal transfer for both cooling and heating. The result is faster temperature regulation with up to 27% lower running costs. Designed to boost efficiency and sustainability, the additive is fully compatible with all system metals, construction materials, and chemical products, ensuring seamless integration without compromising existing protective functions.

 

A solution to mitigate UK energy demands

Given that cooling and heating water consumes a significant portion of the UK’s energy, even modest improvements in efficiency can lead to substantial reductions. If applied across the UK’s commercial and industrial sectors, Delta-T could offer a quick return on investment and play a significant role in advancing sustainability efforts.

 

Your partner for heat transfer innovation

We pride ourselves on providing innovative solutions for your heating and cooling needs. We offer Delta-T both as a standalone product and pre-mixed with our glycol-based heat transfer fluids, combining our glycol blends and protective additives with even greater efficiency. With Delta-T, you’re not just choosing an additive, you’re selecting a powerful tool that can redefine energy efficiency in your operations. For businesses looking to reduce operational costs and improve sustainability, our Blended Fluids range of heat transfer and maintenance fluids offers the solutions you’ve been waiting for.
