The AC generator of a wind turbine relies on cooling efficiency to reach this best capacity. Proviflow’s longlife glycol based heat transfer fluid is the industrial premium coolant to keep a cool head.
Wind turbines operate in some of the harshest environmental conditions, from freezing cold to extreme heat. To ensure reliable performance and longevity, their cooling and thermal management systems require an effective heat transfer fluid. This is where inhibited glycol plays a crucial role.
Wind turbines generate significant heat, particularly in their generators, power electronics, and gearboxes. Without proper cooling, overheating can lead to system failures, costly repairs, and downtime. Inhibited glycol provides efficient thermal management by transferring heat away from critical components, maintaining optimal operating temperatures.
Standard glycols can lead to corrosion and scale buildup within the cooling system, reducing efficiency and increasing maintenance costs. Inhibited glycol contains advanced corrosion inhibitors that protect metal surfaces, including copper, aluminum, and steel, ensuring a longer lifespan for the turbine’s cooling system.
Wind turbines often operate in extreme climates, from icy cold mountain tops to scorching deserts. Inhibited glycol prevents freezing in sub-zero temperatures and boiling in high-heat conditions, ensuring year-round performance without the risk of fluid expansion or damage.
By preventing scale buildup, corrosion, and thermal degradation, inhibited glycol reduces the frequency of maintenance and fluid replacement. This leads to lower operational costs and increased uptime, making wind energy production more efficient and cost-effective.
High-quality inhibited glycol formulations are designed to be environmentally friendly and biodegradable, reducing the impact on the surrounding ecosystem. Additionally, they are engineered to be non-toxic and safe for use in renewable energy applications.
Belgian Offshore Days is fully committed to promoting collaboration between Belgian and international companies in the Offshore Wind Industry. This two-day event offers exhibitors and visitors a platform, an exhibition and seminars to network at the highest level with industry experts.

product highlights
the importance of corrosion inhibitors
All Proviflow fluids are tested to and exceed the ASTM1384-05 corrosion test standard. The range also contains a highly-advanced reserve alkalinity additive.
This ensures a longer and more efficient working life, limited disruption to processes, reduced maintenance costs and ultimately an improved return on capital employed.
All Proviflow products are designed and manufactured to the highest standards to give the end-user greater peace of mind in the knowledge that every product offers a long and efficient working life.
Choose the color according to the company colors.
A contrasting color of the HTF is the easiest way to have a visual leak detection control.
If an internal color is linked to installation instructions, you can create a uniform color code that makes it very easy for your employees to communicate.
Although our product may be one of the best in the market, we believe that our smart services are what adds the extra value. Our people are the engine behind our services that makes the difference for you.
Not just an order number, or customer ID. Behind the scenes a team of professionals are handling your order with great care.
Once your order comes in, our in-house production team plans to get your product on time on the place where you need it.
That’s what we call flexibility.
We understand that not every turbine has the same size. Or you don’t want to waste time during installation on ‘guessing’ if the turbine circuit is completely full.
That is why we offer proviflow in the receipient that suits you best at that moment.
Proviflow’s lab offers a complete analysis service to help to determine the exact moment of your glycol maintenance.
With a sample, we examine the important parameters to check the condition of the heat transfer fluid.
No guesswork or estimates, the report with the accurate data gives you the exact number to intervene and bring the glycol HTF to it’s original specifications.
