Closed loop systems are used to heat and cool HVAC, commercial and industrial systems by re-circulating the same water over and over again. There are a wide variety of system types, but the operational configuration that they typically have in common is isolation from the source of heating or cooling through a secondary heat exchanger (typically a boiler, cooling tower or chiller on the other side of the heat exchanger).

Closed loop systems are best tightly sealed with minimal water losses and makeup, and are often pressurized. But, systems with open-sumps or with high water losses are very common in certain industries, such as plastic injection molding. Specialized products are needed to control corrosion, scaling and biological fouling within the diversity of closed loop systems and makeup water qualities.

DuBois offers a comprehensive line of products to effectively treat a wide variety of closed loop systems:

• Traditional nitrite-based products for tightly-closed hot and cold systems
• Specialized, nitrite-free treatments for systems with open sumps or high makeup levels
• Low-conductivity products for high-energy systems and other closed loops with strict limitations on water chemistry
• Glycol-based fluids for systems where freeze protection or boiling point elevation are required
• Specialized products to protect systems with vulnerable metallurgies such as aluminum
• NSF approved and GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) products for food plant closed loops where there is concern of incidental food contact
• Superior bio-control agents for bio-active closed systems
