Kryon® ProGel - Inhibited Propylene Glycol (MPG) - plastic tank 25 Kg - colourless
Glycols are secondary heat transfer fluids used in refrigeration systems to reduce the amount of refrigerant gas needed in the system itself.
Glycols are also used for safety reasons when it's necessary to keep the circuit containing the refrigerant gas away from public areas. Glycols contain special corrosion inhibitors that prevent corrosion of the metallic parts of the system.
The most commonly used glycols are:
- Inhibited Ethylene Glycol: This is the most economical and widely used fluid for heat exchange.
- Inhibited Polypropylene Glycol: This has lower toxicity than ethylene glycol, making it recommended for food-related applications.
Both Inhibited Ethylene Glycol and Inhibited Polypropylene Glycol are transparent liquids and are miscible with water.
Applications
Glycols are used wherever a heat exchange fluid is required in large refrigeration systems, chillers, underfloor refrigeration systems, and ice skating rinks.
Performance
Glycols contain special inhibitors that provide excellent protection against corrosion. The presence of these inhibitors counteracts the formation of acidity in the circuit, reducing maintenance costs and making the system's operation safer and more reliable.
