Propylene glycol based heat transfer fluid — is a liquid used in heating and cooling systems to transmit thermal energy, the main component of which is propylene glycol. Propylene glycol is an organic compound with good anti-corrosion and anti-freeze properties, making it ideal for use in heating systems, especially in cases where there is a risk of freezing of the system at low temperatures.
Propylene glycol based heat carrier: features
- Antifreeze: Propylene glycol prevents the coolant from freezing at sub-zero temperatures, which makes it suitable for outdoor systems and boilers located in unheated rooms.
- Safety: Propylene glycol is considered less toxic than ethylene glycol, which is important for systems where leaks may occur in residential areas.
- Anti-corrosion additives: The coolant may contain special corrosion inhibitors to protect metal elements of heating systems.
- Compatibility: Can be used in both open and closed heating systems, including radiator and underfloor systems.
Such coolant It is especially in demand in regions with cold winters, as well as in buildings that are not heated all year round, such as summer cottages or country houses.
