Energy efficiency
costs and increase hydraulic efficiency.” The results of testing the Advanced Low Viscosity (ALV) fluid were impressive. It has been shown to be 66% less viscous than MPG and offer lucrative energy savings. It has an operational temperature down to -40°C and is said to outperform MEG, MPG, Bio-PDO and ethanol-based heat transfer fluids. The ALV fluid is part of a family of efficient heat transfer fluids created by the firm, which have been
shown in trials to offer electricity savings through a reduction in pump operating costs. A non-toxic, NSF certified version, ALV Plus, is also available for use in the food and beverage sectors.
Mr Jimpson added that data from external tests on the performance of the fluids would be submitted to OEM simulators, allowing Kilfrost to demonstrate the efficiency and performance benefits as well as evaluate the use of smaller HVAC systems.
“The steps organisations take to truly reduce their impact on the climate has never been more in the spotlight and inaction is quickly highlighted by an increasingly environmentally-aware public. “The results of our work could bring choice for those organisations seeking to demonstrate they are at the leading edge of implementing new ways to protect the environment. Frankly, they’ve waited long enough.”
Scientists at Kilfrost are making significant advancements in heat transfer fluids
