Tyzcka TIGSOL® N

Heat transfer fluid, refrigerant, or cooling brine – the terms are different, yet they essentially refer to the same thing.

Physically speaking, they are heat energy carriers, and depending on whether they transport heat or cold, they are referred to as a heat transfer fluid or refrigerant. A slightly older term that is still frequently used is "cooling brine."

Heat transfer fluids are often water-glycol mixtures, with a freezing point well below that of water. They are therefore used primarily in places where frost protection is necessary:

  • Refrigeration and air conditioning systems
  • Heat pumps
  • Heating systems
  • Domestic hot water heating systems

TIGSol® N is dyed red and is a classic all-purpose cooling brine that can be used in all imaginable heating and cooling systems, as well as in heat transfer in industrial production facilities.

MIXING HEAT TRANSFER MEDIA WITH WATER
In general, no two different heat transfer media may be mixed with each other. Only when mixing with water can full frost and corrosion protection still be guaranteed.
