Heat transfer fluid for geothermal and air source heat pumps

Anti-Freeze	Renewable	Non Toxic	Biodegradeable	Corrosion Control	Quality Assured



THERMOX FXC2 has been especially formulated to provide Geothermal and Air Source Heat Pump installers with a heat transfer fluid that is 100% RENEWABLE. I.E. not derived from non-renewable crude oil. THERMOX FXC2 is based on sustainable Refined Vegetable Extracts that are Non-Toxic, Bio-Degradable and more thermally efficient than Propylene Glycol based coolants. Subsequently THERMOX FXC2 could be considered the most ecologically friendly antifreeze available.

THERMOX FXC2 contains synergistic corrosion inhibitors to protect metals commonly found in such systems. It has been tested in accordance with BS5117 and found to meet BS6580 corrosion standards for mild & stainless steel, aluminium, copper, brass and cast iron. Zinc or galvanised components are not recommended for use with closed loop cooling or heating systems.

THERMOX FXC2 also contains scale and biological inhibitors to help prevent fouling – thus promoting long operational life and high thermal efficiency.

THERMOX FXC2 is a clear, slightly viscous liquid. It is slightly sweet to the taste and has a non-pungent but characteristic aroma.

THERMOX FXC2 is miscible with water in all proportions and can protect Geothermal and Air Source systems down to -50°C depending on concentration.

THERMOX FXC2 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.

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 minimised. A pressurised system is best.
* Air contains oxygen that feeds the corrosion process which consumes the inhibitors.

Determine the total system volume and add THERMOX FXC2 to the system according to the minimum operating temperature required (see table, below). The minimum dose of THERMOX FXC2 should not be less than 25% of the system volume and the maximum does not normally exceed 60%. We recommend the use of deionised, distilled or UltraPure™ water for this dilution. Avoid water containing high levels of calcium salts or Chlorides [Cl-].

Health & Safety: Please refer to the associated Safety Data Sheet.

Shelf Life: 3 years when stored in sealed containers out of direct sunlight.

Available in: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 205 & 1,000 litre containers and in bulk tankers.

THERMOX FXC2 can also be supplied pre-mixed, as a Ready-To-Use solution.

When measuring the percentage of THERMOX FXC2in the system use a refractometer.
