Water-Free Coolant Technology Benchmark

The LM-11 series is the water-free coolant family of Glacier Coolant, designed specifically for water-sensitive processes. From the LM-10A -25C water-free alcohol-free type to the LM-11F -85C ultra-low temperature water-free type, it covers a wide range of water-free operating condition needs.

The core advantage of water-free coolants is the absence of water, avoiding ice blockage caused by water molecule freezing at low temperatures. However, the system must strictly prohibit water, requiring nitrogen blanketing to prevent airborne moisture ingress. After water ingress, physical separation + molecular sieve drying is required.

LM-11Series Key Advantages

Water-Free Formula

Contains no water, avoiding low-temperature icing and blockage. System requires nitrogen blanketing to prevent airborne moisture ingress.

Ultra-Low Temperature Capability

LM-11F reaches -85C, meeting extreme low-temperature reactor cooling needs. LM-11D covers above -60C.

Low Viscosity

Relatively low low-temperature viscosity with better pump performance than some competitors. But specific heat and thermal conductivity are lower than water-based types.

Chemical Stability

Chemically stable under ultra-low temperature conditions, no decomposition or degradation.

Water-Prohibited Leak Testing

Use dry nitrogen for pressure leak testing. Water testing is strictly prohibited.

System Modification

When replacing water-based coolant, evaluate pipe, pump, and heat exchange area modification requirements.

LM-11Series Real Cases

2025.02.18LM-11D
Baisheng · Shenzhen
LM-11D water contamination; ice blockage during cooling
System water tank open; previous LM-4 test not fully drained. Recommended draining coolant, stratifying, collecting upper portion, blow-drying system
2025.02.19LM-11D
DoFluoro Chemical · Zhejiang
LM-11D viscosity higher than competitor TOPS; York manufacturer says it affects heat exchange
Calculated: viscosity increase causes 7.5% resistance impact, 1.5% heat exchange impact; negligible for design. Recommended third-party testing
2025.02.24LM-11F
Chengda Pharmaceutical · Jiashan
LM-11F replaced LM-1; reactor cooling performance poor
Comparison shows -50°C 11F viscosity (4) lower than Type 1 (10.28), but thermal conductivity is half; main cause of poor cooling
2025.06.17LM-11D
Guangzhou Hengxing · Guangzhou
LM-11D ice blockage; pump seizes then restarts after temperature rises
Moisture reduced to 47ppm. Recommended filter before pump; clean regularly based on operating current

LM-11D system reactor not receiving fluid
Suspected inlet pipe blockage or ice blockage. Drain coolant for physical density separation of water. Recommend nitrogen blanketing for tank
2025.09.21LM-11D

Tried adding alcohol to lower water freezing point; Beijing lab tests showed some effect; customer to try
2025.09.29LM-11C
Dachen Pharmaceutical · Taizhou
LM-11C reactor bulging and deformation
Valve closure with temperature change caused volume change and pressure. Do not close outlet valve; maintain tank connection
2025.10.06LM-11D/LM-4
- · Taizhou
LM-11D replaced LM-4; temperature cannot decrease
11D specific heat and thermal conductivity both lower than LM-4; heat exchange capacity insufficient. Customer considering reverting to LM-4

LM-11Series Usage Precautions

LM-11 Series Usage Notes

Strictly water-free: System must be strictly water-free; nitrogen blanketing required to prevent airborne moisture ingress.
Water ingress treatment: After water ingress, use physical separation (let stand to stratify, collect upper layer) + molecular sieve drying.
Filter: Install filter before pump; clean regularly based on operating current.
Leak testing: Use dry nitrogen for pressure leak testing. Water testing is strictly prohibited.
Replacement notes: When replacing water-based coolant, pipes must be enlarged, flow doubled, and heat exchange area increased by 1.5x.
