Heat transfer fluids containing synergistic blends of corrosion inhibitor formulations

A super concentrate additive solution is disclosed herein. A super concentrate additive solution can be added into a heat transfer fluid to improve corrosion protection performance and to extend the service life of a heat transfer system or the fluids therein. A method includes adding a super concentrate additive solution to a heat transfer fluid to form a super additive heat transfer fluid and adding the mixture to a heat transfer system. A super concentrate additive solution can also be used in flexible production of a high corrosion protection performance heat transfer fluid concentrate, pre-diluted heat transfer fluids, or ready-for-use heat transfer fluids.

Super concentrate additive solution composition

Cleaning compositions include (a) a carrier liquid; (b) a metal citrate and/or a plurality of reagents configured to generate the metal citrate in situ; (c) one or a plurality of non-ionic surfactants; and (d) an organophosphate hydrotrope configured to increase solubility of the one or the plurality of non-ionic surfactants in the carrier liquid.
