Heat transfer fluid for heating systems

Heat transfer fluid for heating and cooling systems can be bought in Ukraine at the Novohim online store. This is a special liquid that ensures the efficient and safe operation of heating and cooling systems. We offer various types of heat transfer fluids with freezing points ranging from –20 °C to –32 °C.

What types of heat transfer fluids are used in heating and cooling systems?

Propylene glycol heat transfer fluids

The safest and most environmentally friendly option. Propylene glycol is non-toxic and approved for use in residential buildings, schools, kindergartens, medical facilities, and heat pump systems. These fluids perform consistently over long periods of use and do not damage rubber seals.

Ethylene glycol heat transfer fluids

These fluids have good antifreeze properties and are affordable.
However, ethylene glycol is toxic, so it can only be used in closed, sealed systems where the heat transfer fluid cannot come into contact with the air in the room or drinking water.
They are most often used in industrial facilities where there are strict operating controls.
In residential buildings, it is recommended to give preference to propylene glycol or glycerine.

Glycerine heat transfer fluids

Glycerine-based heat transfer fluid is a modern solution that is biologically safe and environmentally friendly. They work well in domestic heating systems and greenhouses.
At the same time, their increased viscosity should be taken into account: a more powerful pump is needed for stable circulation.
In case of freezing, glycerine heat transfer fluids do not destroy pipes, but after thawing, they are more difficult to start due to their thick consistency.

How to choose a heat transfer fluid for heating

When choosing a heat transfer fluid, it is important to consider the type of equipment, operating conditions and manufacturer’s requirements. Glycerine heat transfer fluids are environmentally friendly and safe, but require a more powerful circulation pump and are more difficult to start up if frozen. Ethylene glycol fluids are only suitable for closed systems as they are toxic. Propylene glycol coolants combine safety and efficiency and are suitable for both residential and industrial facilities.

Freezing point (–20 °C, –32 °C)

For most regions of Ukraine, a composition with a crystallisation temperature of –20 °C is sufficient. In colder conditions, it is advisable to use –32 °C.

Environmental safety and composition

Propylene glycol or glycerine compositions are recommended for private homes. They are safe for humans and animals, do not emit toxic substances and do not affect the materials of the system.

Compatibility with system materials

A high-quality heat transfer fluid must be neutral to aluminium and cast iron radiators, copper pipes and rubber gaskets — this extends the service life of the equipment.

Technical characteristics and packaging

Freezlight heat transfer fluids are made from propylene glycol or glycerine and contain anti-corrosion and anti-foaming additives, as well as a fluorescent dye for monitoring purposes. They are supplied in 10 kg canisters, 50 and 200 kg plastic barrels, and 1000 kg Eurocubes. Bulk delivery is possible from 100 kg.

Instructions for use and storage

Only fill clean heating systems.
Store in a tightly closed container at a temperature between +5 °C and +40 °C.
Do not expose to direct sunlight.
The fluid has a service life of up to 5 years; after this, analysis and, if necessary, correction is recommended.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

Which heat transfer fluid should I choose for heating a private house?
Propylene glycol or glycerine compounds are recommended — they are safe for humans and animals.

Can different brands be mixed?
It is advisable to avoid this. Only mixing on the same basis (propylene glycol with propylene glycol, etc.) is permitted.

What happens during severe frosts?
At extreme temperatures, the heat transfer fluid does not turn into ice, but thickens to a gel, preserving the integrity of pipes and equipment.
