Efficiency and Protection with DOWTHERM™ SR-1 Heat Transfer Fluid

DOWTHERM™ SR-1 Heat Transfer Fluid is a high-performance heat transfer fluid made with 100% virgin ethylene glycol (EG), offering reliable freeze protection, corrosion resistance, and efficient cooling for industrial systems.

APPLICATIONS:

Commercial and Industrial HVAC Systems: Commonly found in both chiller and boiler systems, Dowtherm SR-1 can act as the heat transfer fluid pumping through the secondary loop, removing heat in refrigeration processes for chillers while adding heat in boiler-based heating systems. It is widely utilized in hydronic (water-based) heating and cooling systems.
Solar and Geothermal Heat Pumps: In solar systems, Dowtherm SR-1 can be used to transfer heat from solar collectors to storage or usage points. In geothermal heat pumps, it helps stabilize the temps of working fluids and can help dissipate excess heat.
Commercial Cooling Towers: A cooling tower in an HVAC system is used when large amounts of heat must be dissipated, such as in a chemical manufacturing process. They often use an ethylene glycol and water-based mixture to perform their evaporative cooling function.
Ice Skating Rinks: Given the superior heat transfer properties of ethylene glycol, it is often found as the primary service refrigerant, pumping beneath the ice rink floor in sub-freezing temperatures to maintain ice integrity.
Floating Storage Regasification Unit (FSRU): Particularly in geographies with cooler climates, ethylene glycol is often used as the antifreeze to safely transport the heat produced by an FSRU without freezing in ambient conditions.

FEATURES:

Corrosion Protection: DOWTHERM™ SR-1 is formulated with heavy-duty industrial inhibitor packages that prevent corrosion, especially in systems with metal components, including those with a high copper surface area.
Freeze Protection: It provides system loop freeze protection down to 14°F (-10°C), ensuring that operations continue smoothly even in colder conditions.
Cost-Effective: As a cooling solution, DOWTHERM™ SR-1 offers significant cost savings compared to air cooling systems. Its properties make it ideal for a wide range of applications where efficiency and performance are critical.
Temperature Range: The recommended operating temperature ranges from -60°F (-51°C) to 250°F (121°C), making it versatile for both low and high-temperature applications.
Fluorescent Pink Color: This distinctive color makes it easy to detect leaks, ensuring timely maintenance and minimizing downtime.
