Fluid savings

Heat Transfer Systems has launched HTfluidfit, a process that conditions thermal fluids within an operating system, an innovation that, says the company, could save UK manufacturers hundreds of millions of pounds every year.

Traditionally, maintaining fluid condition has been achieved by total replacement of the fluid which may be needed as frequently as every two years.

HTS has developed HTfluidfit in partnership with the UK division of multinational Flamco. HTfluidfit conditions thermal fluids within the operating system, extending the life of the fluid up to 10-fold or longer.

Benefits claimed include cost savings, lower risk, improved safety and reduced carbon emissions and waste.
