Solutions
We offer a targeted selection of Kilfrost fluids to meet your performance needs.
KILFROST ALV
A low-viscosity, non-toxic heat transfer fluid designed for secondary cooling and refrigeration systems, Kilfrost ALV delivers enhanced thermal performance while meeting stringent food safety and environmental standards. Ideal for sectors requiring reliable, efficient, and corrosion-resistant cooling solutions.
-
Improves cooling capacity by 13 percent.
-
Increases Coefficient of Performance (COP) by 9 percent.
-
Suitable for food-grade environments requiring corrosion resistance and low freezing points.
KILFROST ALV PLUS
-
Reduces pump energy use by up to 40 percent.
-
Up to 50 percent increase in cooling power versus MPG.
-
Operational range from -40°C to +40°C, outperforming MEG, MPG, Bio-PDO, and ethanol-based heat transfer fluid alternatives.
-
Reduces system pressure drops and allows for smaller heat exchanger and pump sizing.
An advanced formulation that builds on ALV’s performance with even greater thermal efficiency and energy savings, Kilfrost ALV Plus is optimized for large-scale and demanding applications, including shipbuilding, brewing, and data center cooling. It enables reduced pump strain, lower pressure drops, and increased cooling power.
KILFROST GEO
Specifically developed for ground-source heat pump systems, Kilfrost GEO offers superior freeze protection, lower viscosity, and energy-efficient circulation. It supports shallower drilling, reduced installation costs, and stable thermal transfer across a broad temperature range, making it a smart choice for sustainable heating and cooling projects.
Lowered CO2 emissions and energy costs
-
Achieves electricity savings of 11 to 15 percent compared to traditional antifreeze.
-
Allows for potential drilling depth reductions of up to 27 percent.
-
Maintains fluid turbulence across a wide operating window, supporting system reliability.
