Thermera’s areas of application

The development of Thermera was initiated on the basis of the end users’ need to replace conventional glycols with a more environmentally benign option with no compromises over the most important characteristics in view of the use. So the general principle can be considered to be that Thermera can be used everywhere where ethylene and propylene glycols are used today. Thermera is excellent for buildings’ HVAC systems: it can be used for cooling in air conditioning systems and for heat recovery in office buildings, shopping centres and industrial buildings.

Thermera is also suitable for geothermal heat pumps. Heated pedestrian streets, which are becoming common in urban areas in the north, are another significant use for Thermera. Thanks to Thermera’s environmental acceptability and non-toxicity, it can be used in systems in which ethylene glycol is not acceptable. Thermera is an excellent heat transfer fluid for the food industry, for instance. Thermera is used as heat transfer fluid in the secondary circuit in refrigeration systems. In several applications, Thermera competes successfully with salt solutions. However, extremely cold circumstances, i.e. continuous operation under –25 °C, are not the best operating areas for Thermera.
