Newsome Expands Heat Transfer Fluid Testing Services Nationwide

At Newsome, we’re pleased to announce the nationwide expansion of our Heat Transfer Fluid Testing Services, further strengthening our support for clients across the UK who rely on chilled water and HVAC systems for critical process and environmental control. This development comes in response to growing demand from businesses seeking to protect their equipment, reduce unplanned downtime, and maintain energy efficiency—particularly in sectors such as food production, pharmaceuticals, plastics, and general manufacturing, where temperature control is essential.

Supporting System Reliability from the Inside Out

While it’s easy to focus on visible assets such as chillers, pumps and heat exchangers, the quality of the fluid circulating within the system plays an equally important role in ensuring long-term performance and reliability. Over time, water or glycol-based fluids can deteriorate due to chemical imbalance, corrosion, microbial contamination or incorrect top-up procedures—issues that often go unnoticed until they affect system efficiency or cause failure. With Newsome’s expanded testing services, clients now have access to a comprehensive, nationwide solution for heat transfer fluid monitoring, treatment, and remediation.

Independent Laboratory Testing for Unmatched Accuracy

As part of the service, fluid samples are collected directly from site and sent to a trusted independent laboratory for full analysis. This impartial testing approach ensures the highest levels of accuracy and transparency, giving clients confidence in the data they receive. The laboratory reports are easy to interpret, providing clear insights into pH levels, glycol concentration, turbidity, conductivity, and the presence of corrosion metals such as iron. Following analysis, Newsome’s technical team reviews the results and delivers a tailored action plan. This may include chemical dosing, glycol adjustment, biocide treatment, or a full system flush—depending on the condition of the fluid and the performance goals of the client.

Integrated Solutions and Ongoing Support

Our expanded service goes beyond testing. We offer fully managed solutions through our in-house engineering team, including on-site intervention, heat transfer fluid treatment, and the supply and installation of side stream filtration systems to remove suspended solids and contaminants. This proactive service is available as a standalone solution or integrated into a wider planned preventative maintenance (PPM) contract. Clients benefit from long-term trend monitoring, early fault detection, and fewer operational disruptions.

Proven Benefits Across Industry

Clean, balanced heat transfer fluid supports more than just system longevity. It reduces energy usage, improves thermal transfer rates, and extends the life of industrial chillers, pumps, valves, and plate heat exchangers. For process-critical industries, it can be the difference between smooth, efficient operation and unplanned shutdowns. The nationwide rollout ensures that clients in England, Scotland, and Wales can all benefit from fast response times, consistent service delivery, and the same technical expertise that Newsome is known for.
