Hydratech release new Data Centre Cooling brochure ahead of OCP Summit

At the heart of Hydratech’s product portfolio is Coolflow DTX™, the company’s flagship hybridized glycol. Coolflow DTX™ is a revolutionary thermal fluid that outperforms traditional propylene glycol (PG) in terms of energy efficiency, thermal conductivity and environmental impact. Formulated with Susterra Bio-PG and a comprehensive inhibitor package, Coolflow DTX™ delivers superior thermal performance while maintaining a classification of “practically non-toxic.” It meets the ASTM D8040 corrosion standards, ensuring long-term reliability and minimal downtime.

Widely adopted by HVAC designers and trusted by a broad base of blue-chip clients—including those in the food, beverage, pharmaceutical, medical, and military sectors—Coolflow DTX™ sets the benchmark for safe, efficient, and sustainable cooling solutions.

Pushing the boundaries even further, Hydratech introduces Coolflow™ MAX, a next-generation coolant that combines the proven benefits of Coolflow DTX™ with Maxwell nanoparticle technology. This groundbreaking formulation delivers significant gains in thermal performance, with independent trials at Aramco, Tabreed, Regeneron, and Ericsson reporting energy savings of around 15%. Like DTX, Coolflow™ MAX meets ASTM D8040 corrosion standards and is practically non-toxic. It also has undergone a complete Life Cycle Assessment, validating its environmental and operational benefits over traditional fluids.

The technological leap behind Coolflow™ MAX lies in Maxwell, Hydratech’s advanced nanoparticle additive. Maxwell is engineered to increase heat transfer capacity in HVAC and process cooling systems by up to 15%, and is compatible with both water and water-glycol based fluids. Critically, Maxwell can be introduced into existing systems without mechanical upgrades or capital expenditure. It is fully operational during system runtime or during short maintenance windows. Maxwell is non-hazardous, and NSF HT-1 certified, making it suitable for even the most sensitive applications, such as food and beverage cooling.

In addition to fluid innovation, Hydratech’s Fluid Management Services (FMS) division plays a pivotal role in delivering end-to-end support. Launched in 2018, FMS is a multi-disciplinary team providing both proactive and reactive services, ranging from system diagnostics to fluid lifecycle management. The cornerstone of FMS is the Fluid Monitoring Program (FMP), a simple yet powerful service that provides in-depth fluid analysis with clear observations and actionable recommendations to help clients maintain optimal performance, avoid downtime, and extend the service life of their systems.

Also featured in the brochure are Sureflow inhibitors, designed for use with both water-only and water-glycol systems, offering added protection against corrosion, scaling, and biological fouling.

With this latest brochure, Hydratech positions itself not just as a fluid manufacturer, but as a comprehensive solutions provider, offering high-performance thermal fluids, smart nano-technologies and expert support, that together meet the evolving needs of data centres striving for efficiency, sustainability, and reliability.

Hydratech’s participation at this year’s OCP Summit in Dublin (April 29-30) highlights their commitment to addressing the pressing challenges of energy efficiency and sustainability in data centre operations. The summit's emphasis on data centre sustainability, power, and cooling provides an ideal backdrop for Hydratech to engage with industry leaders, share insights, and explore collaborative opportunities. By presenting their innovative fluid solutions, Hydratech aims to contribute to the development of more efficient and sustainable data centre infrastructures.
