Hydratech Services
Click here to see how Hydratech can help with installing, commissioning, operating or optimising large cooling and heating systems.
Working with industry leaders
A key objective since Hydratech's formation in 1998, has been the establishment of technical partnerships with industry leading distribution and retail operations across the UK.
Working with those responsible for cooling system design, installation and operation, Hydratech's engineers, chemists and analysts implement a fully integrated approach to chiller fluid selection and management - which in turn, maximises performance, reduces operational costs and delivers significant return on investment.
Hydratech's holistic approach to cooling system optimisation encompasses:
Fluid Selection
Chiller fluid characteristics have a direct and long-lasting impact on system performance, production output, energy consumption and operational lifespan. Fluid thermodynamics, toxicity, corrosion chemistry and aerobic bacteria, are all key considerations when selecting an appropriate formulation, mixing ratio and compatible inhibitor package.
For nearly 25 years, Hydratech have been assisting the temperature-controlled logistics industry with fluid selection - utilising over 100 years combined experience in all aspects of cooling applications. Whether your priority is cost, thermal efficiency, environmental impact, toxicity, corrosion resistance or a combination of all these, Hydratech has a fluid to suit. Contact our fluid experts here.
Fluid Monitoring
Based on many years of experience, it is not uncommon for the maintenance of chilled water systems to be overlooked. Under such circumstances various issues can develop, including advanced corrosion, biological fouling and sediment formation. All of which will have a direct and negative impact on heat transfer efficiency, pumping performance and energy consumption.
Hydratech’s in-house laboratory carries out analytical fluid testing of working fluids, primarily microbiological and chemistry testing - to identify water contaminates, bacterial presence, water treatment levels or the make-up of elements. More on fluid monitoring here.
Fluid Management
Correct maintenance of chiller systems is of vital importance, if thermal efficiency is to be optimised and operating costs are minimised. Hydratech Fluid Management Services (FMS) provide specialist engineering and maintenance services to customers installing, commissioning, operating, or optimising large refrigeration systems.
By combining expertise in water-treatment chemistry, fluid-thermodynamics and mechanical engineering, Hydratech FMS division provide a comprehensive range of services to maximise system efficiency, minimise downtime and reduce risk. More on Hydratech Services here.
