Hot water heating systems and air conditioning are commonly used to ensure comfortable temperatures in buildings. The use of heat transfer liquids instead of inhibited water is linked with the energy savings during shut-down. Many hot water systems used to heat buildings don’t require permanent heating. Typical examples are schools, churches, weekend houses etc. When a heat transfer fluid is used, the entire system or part of the system can be turned off, even when outside temperatures are below zero, but is ready to be started at any time. The mixture of a heat transfer fluid guarantees frost protection and corrosion protection.
For moderate climates like Western Europe frost protection up to –20°C is sufficient to protect the installation, even if the pipes are installed in the external walls. The use of our fluids in under floor heating systems has proven to be successful as an antifreeze and corrosion inhibitor, even when plastic pipes like PE are used. If the PE-pipes are of the types with oxygen diffusion barrier, we recommend at least 25 % (v/v) of the heat transfer fluid.
Typical dosage rates are 20-35 % Zitrec MC or Zitrec LC. For Freezium,we recommend Freezium -20°C. For Zitrec S, we recommend Zitrec S -25°C
