Specially prepared potassium formate solution used as a cooling medium in an indirect system offers numerous advantages both in economic and environmental terms. The contractor successfully uses this solution under the trade name SuperCool enriched with all the required additives, including corrosion inhibitors to protect the components of the hydraulic system. The fluid has a number of properties important in the refrigeration technologies, including:

• low viscosity;
• high thermal conductivity;
• compatibility with virtually the entire range of materials used in current hydraulic systems (with a few exceptions).

An indirect cooling system that is appropriately balanced in terms of costs not only offers a good value for money, but also has certain undeniable technical advantages, including:

• the failure rate of indirect systems is lower compared to DX direct cooling systems (e.g. CO2 systems). When a failure, such as leakage, does occur, the repair is less complicated and less costly. In addition, leaked potassium formate solution does not pose any environmental risk;
• the general servicing of intermediate systems does not require such highly qualified staff as in the case of DX systems, especially those based on CO2.
