Specialist Applications

Hydratech work in partnership with designers and manufacturers of specialist equipment, to develop bespoke heat transfer fluid formulations for their unique applications. High profile applications include; Aerospace - Pilot cooling systems for multi-role fighters. Marine - Stern tube cooling of oil-free stern tubes. Medical - Scalp cooling technology, for preventing hair loss during chemotherapy.

Whether you’re at the concept, design or manufacturing stage of a specialist product or system, and feel you could benefit from Hydratech’s experience and capability to formulate custom working fluids, get in touch.

Working with industry leaders

A key objective since Hydratech's formation in 1998, has been the establishment of technical partnerships with pioneering engineering and specialist manufacturing operations.

Working with those responsible for cooling and heating system design, installation and operation, Hydratech's engineers, chemists and analysts implement a fully integrated approach to fluid selection and management - which in turn, maximises performance, reduces operational costs and delivers significant return on investment.

Hydratech's holistic approach to cooling and heating system optimisation for specialist applications encompasses:

Fluid Selection

Process fluid characteristics have a direct and long-lasting impact on system performance, production output, energy consumption and operational lifespan. Fluid thermodynamics, toxicity, corrosion chemistry and aerobic bacteria, are all key considerations when selecting an appropriate formulation, mixing ratio and compatible inhibitor package.

For over 25 years, Hydratech have been assisting the engineering industry with fluid selection and formulation - utilising over 100 years combined experience in all aspects of cooling and heating applications. Whether your priority is cost, thermal efficiency, environmental impact, toxicity, corrosion resistance or a combination of all these, Hydratech has a fluid to suit. Contact our fluid experts here.

Fluid Monitoring

Based on many years of experience, it is not uncommon for the maintenance of cooling and heating systems to be overlooked. Under such circumstances various issues can develop, including advanced corrosion, biological fouling and sediment formation. All of which will have a direct and negative impact on working fluid pumping performance and energy consumption.

Hydratech’s in-house laboratory carries out analytical fluid testing of heat transfer fluids, primarily microbiological and chemistry testing - to identify water contaminates, bacterial presence, water treatment levels or the make-up of elements. More on fluid monitoring here.

Fluid Management

Correct maintenance of process and hydronic systems in the engineering sector is of vital importance, if system efficiency is to be optimised and operating costs are minimised. Hydratech Fluid Management Services (FMS) provide specialist engineering and maintenance services to customers installing, commissioning, operating, or optimising large cooling and heating systems.

By combining expertise in water-treatment chemistry, fluid-thermodynamics and mechanical engineering, Hydratech FMS division provide a comprehensive range of services to maximise thermal efficiency, minimise downtime and reduce risk. More on fluid management here.
