HVAC and Refridgeration Applications with Dowtherm™ and Dowfrost™

 

| Your initial investment in a heat
transfer fluid for a water-based HVAC
system pales beside the cost of
chillers, pumps, piping, and other
hardware components. But your
system’s performance, longevity, and
long-term cost may well depend on
which heat transfer fluid you choose.
That’s why you need a fluid that’s
designed to stand up to the rigors of
HVAC service, protect your system
against freeze and corrosion, and
provide efficient heat transfer for
years with minimal maintenance.
For water-based HVAC systems of all
descriptions, choose DOWTHERM or DOWFROST™,
fluids.
Dow has been the HVAC industry’s
trusted source for glycol-based heat
transfer fluids for more than 50 years.
We offer a full range of industrially
inhibited, glycol-based heat transfer
fluids specially formulated for
demanding HVAC service. Included
are fluids offering exceptional freeze
and corrosion protection, excellent
heat transfer efficiency, and optimal
economy in closed-loop heating and
air conditioning, thermal energy
storage (TES), ground source heat
pump, and other water-based HVAC systems |

A Note on Dilution Water Quality
For long-term, minimal maintenance operation, Dow
fluids should only be diluted with demineralized water that has been
distilled, deionized, or passed through a reverse osmosis process to
remove potentially troublesome minerals and salts. This is especially
important when using DOWFROST ™ which does not contain Dow’s
dispersant additive, which helps prevent precipitation of sediment due
to water hardness.
Good quality water contains only minute traces of calcium or magnesium
(< 100 ppm of total hardness as CaCO3), chloride and sulfate. If good
quality water is unavailable for your installation, prediluted
solutions of Dow fluids are available
