Cooling solutions for lasers typically involve closed-loop heat exchange systems that circulate coolant through or around the laser housing. The choice of coolant/antifreeze in these systems is critical. Not only must the laser coolant effectively transfer heat, but it must also protect the system from corrosion, scaling, microbial growth, and freezing or boiling under extreme conditions.
Since 1998, Hydratech have specialized in the formulation and manufacture of thermal fluids and inhibitors, for use in commercial and industrial closed-loop cooling and heating systems. At the core of Hydratech’s offering for laser cooling systems is Coolflow DTX®, a performance enhancing advanced glycol that is significantly more energy efficient than propylene glycol.
Coolflow DTX® excels in laser cooling applications where consistency, reliability, and cleanliness are essential. DTX has the same non toxicity credentials of propylene glycol and is available with NSF HT-1 food-safe certification, making it suitable for use in sensitive environments such as hospitals, laboratories, and cleanrooms.
Coolflow DTX®: specified by Coherent and other leading laser manufacturers
Coherent lasers, known for their high precision and power, are widely used in industrial, medical, and scientific applications. For over 10 years Coherent have specified Coolflow DTX® coolant & antifreeze, to ensure the optimum performance and reliability of their lasers.
DTX offers superior heat transfer, comprehensive corrosion protection, and long-term stability. Its non toxicity and biodegradability make it safe for sensitive environments. Coolflow DTX® ensures consistent laser output by efficiently removing excess heat, minimizing downtime, and extending equipment lifespan, making it a trusted solution for Coherent laser cooling requirements.
Hydratech's expertise goes beyond supplying coolants and antifreeze. They also provide comprehensive technical support - including application-specific recommendations, fluid monitoring, and laboratory coolant analysis. Their in-house Fluid Management Services provide a range of proactive and reactive thermal optimization solutions for heat transfer fluids and associated systems. This proactive approach improves system efficiency, reduces downtime and extends equipment life.
