Heat transfer fluid for solar heating systems

Anti-Freeze	Non Toxic	Biodegradeable	Corrosion Control	Quality Assured



SOLARIS PGC has been especially formulated for use in Flat Panel and Evacuated Tube Solar Thermal Heating systems. It is able to operate efficiently at ≤170°C for prolonged periods and withstand temperatures of 200°C for short periods. It contains reversibly evaporisable inhibitors that are capable of withstanding stagnation temperatures of 300°C whilst protecting all metals used in Solar systems.

SOLARIS PGC also contains a high temperature rated polyacrylate, formulated to prevent sludge precipitation and scale formation. Thus promoting long operational life and high thermal efficiency.

SOLARIS PGC mixtures are readily biodegradable (90% over ten days) and will not remain in the environment or bio-accumulate.

SOLARIS PGC is miscible with water in all proportions and can protect Solar Thermal Heating systems down to -50°C depending on concentration.

SOLARIS PGC exhibits super-cooling characteristics and mixtures containing in excess of 50% by volume do not freeze solid, alleviating any concern over possible expansion and burst damage.

SOLARIS PGC is a clear, slightly viscous liquid. It is mildly sweet to the taste and has a non-pungent but characteristic aroma.

As per BSRIA guide AG 1/2001.1 all pipe-work systems should be clean and free from biological contamination prior to commissioning.

To minimise corrosion air* ingress and exposure should be minimized. A pressurised system is best.
* Oxygen feeds the corrosion process which consumes inhibitors.

SOLARIS PGC is a concentrate Heat Transfer Fluid that can be diluted with a demineralised or UltraPure™ water, to achieve various freeze protection temperatures. In order to maintain system integrity only top-up with SOLARIS PGC.

Prior to dilution determine the system volume and add sufficient SOLARIS PGC according to the minimum ambient temperature expected.

E.g. 40% v/v SOLARIS PGC will provide -20°C protection, as might be expected for the UK mainland.

50% v/v SOLARIS PGC will provide -30°C protection, as might be expected for the Scottish Highlands.
