Heat transfer fluid for food and beverage

Temperature control for optimised taste and product longevity

The successful and optimised processing and storage of food and drinks can be critically temperature dependent. For example, supermarkets feature many fresh chilled products in open display cabinets. Additionally, beer and other beverage processing operations require close temperature control for optimised taste and product longevity.

Kilfrost’s revolutionary heat transfer fluid technology provides a compelling commercial solution to long-standing challenges faced by the food and beverage industry where maintaining efficient production processes, whilst not compromising on taste or product safety, is imperative.

Kilfrost’s low viscosity heat transfer fluid

Kilfrost ALV Plus offers exceptionally consistent temperature control and thermal power transmission. This is a tremendous benefit for the food and beverage industry as temperature control is critical to product manufacturing. An example of this is fermentation temperature control: as fermentation is an exothermic process, if not controlled it can ruin the taste or product or kill the yeast. This makes accurate and efficient temperature control vital to today’s brewers, from the largest international producer to the smallest micro-brewery. Better temperature control delivers better batch-to-batch taste profile consistency.

Kilfrost ALV Plus is an engineered low viscosity fluid which outperforms MEG and MPG, Bio-PDO and ethanol-based heat transfer fluids.

Kilfrost ALV Plus

High-performance, low viscosity heat transfer fluid

Consistently low viscosity

As the temperature decreases, other products become more viscous and ’sluggish’. Kilfrost ALV Plus fluid remains low in viscosity which means less pumping power is required to circulate the fluid around the system and due to this hydraulic efficiency, the pump’s energy usage is reduced – along with the costs.

Kilfrost ALV Plus is assured as safe for incidental food and beverage contact through certification by the US NSF organisation, an independent body that assesses individual components and can certify the complete commercial product. ALV Plus is certified as NSF Non-food Compounds HT1 Registration No. 153280.
