Energy Efficiency and Reduced Carbon Footprint
One of the major environmental benefits of Hydratech’s greener Hybridized Glycols is their contribution to increased energy efficiency. By facilitating better heat transfer, these fluids reduce the energy required for industrial process cooling & heating applications. This translates into lower energy consumption, which in turn leads to reduced greenhouse gas emissions. As industries work to meet stricter environmental regulations and carbon reduction targets, using Hydratech’s Hybridized Glycols can be a significant step toward achieving sustainability goals.
Coolflow DTX Energy Saving Glycol
Introduced in 2010, DTX is a high-performance heat transfer fluid that is based on ethylene glycol, blended with a detoxification additive. DTX fluid technology combines the thermal efficiency and low viscosity associated to ethylene glycol (at -10°C the kinematic viscosity of DTX is 50% lower than MPG), with the non-toxic rating of propylene glycol. Many industry-leading food & beverage manufacturers, data center operators, and cold chain businesses have made significant energy saving gains and reduced their carbon emissions by adopting DTX.
Proven DTX benefits include:
• Reduced energy consumption
• Increased COP & outputs
• Less volume required
• Cheaper per litre
• Comprehensive freeze protection
• High-performance inhibitor formulation
Bio-based Renewable Glycols
As a commitment to assist forward thinking businesses lower their carbon footprint and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, Hydratech have developed a range of bio-based petroleum-free heat transfer fluids. The ECO range of Hybridized Glycols are 100% biodegradable and derived from trees, plants and corn.
Coolflow ECO Bio-PG based Glycol
A high performance biobased, petroleum-free heat transfer fluid based on Bio-PG. Utilizing the environmental advantages and performance benefits of Bio-PG, Coolflow ECO is proven to improve cooling efficiency and reduce environmental impact, when compared to petroleum derived propylene glycol. Coolflow ECO is NSF HTX-1 approved for incidental food contact.
Coolflow ECOx - The best of both Worlds...
Coolflow ECOx combines ECO and DTX technologies, to be the most thermally and energy efficient non-toxic glycol hybrid available. Utilizing the petroleum-free sustainability credentials of the ECO range, with the high-efficiency energy saving benefits of DTX, Coolflow ECOx is a ground-breaking heat transfer fluid that is driving the future of energy saving, eco-friendly process cooling.
Reducing fluid waste, frequency of replacement, and production energy use
Another critical aspect of Hydratech’s advanced Hybridized Glycols is their long lifespan. Often, traditional heat transfer fluids need to be replaced frequently due to degradation, leading to increased waste and the use of more raw materials and energy, to produce new fluids. Hydratech has developed glycols with superior durability, allowing them to remain effective for longer periods under demanding conditions. This extended lifespan reduces the frequency of fluid replacement, which helps decrease production energy consumption, waste generation, and the need for disposal of used fluids.
The Importance of Sustainable Glycols in Today’s Market
As global industries face increasing pressure to adopt greener technologies, the role of sustainable glycols has become more critical. Products like Coolflow ECOx, Coolflow DTX™ and Coolflow™ ECO are setting new benchmarks for what can be achieved in thermal efficiency - combining superior performance with environmental responsibility. Hydratech is at the forefront of this transition, offering solutions that not only meet the technical demands of today's process cooling applications, but also align with the broader push towards sustainability and reduced carbon footprints.
