Applications
Heat Transfer Oil 32/46 is recommended for use in closed liquid-phase heat transfer systems equipped with a cold-oil seal pot on the expansion tank vent, or operating with low-pressure nitrogen blanketing of the oil so there is no possibility of air contacting the oil during operation. For best performance, the maximum bulk oil temperature should not exceed 550oF (288oC).
Heat Transfer Oils 32 and 46 are recommended for use in closed liquid-phase heat transfer systems equipped with expansion tanks and pressure relief valves, where the maximum bulk oil temperature does not exceed 550oF (288oC). Preventive measures should be taken to minimize oil oxidation by eliminating air from the system prior to bringing the oil up to operating temperature. The use of an inert gas, such as nitrogen, under positive pressure in the expansion tank is recommended at all times during operation. Under no circumstances should the hot oil come into contact with air.
Heat Transfer Oils 32 and 46 also are recommended for use in open liquid-phase heat transfer systems equipped with cold-oil sealed expansion tanks, where the maximum bulk oil temperature does not exceed 374oF (190oC).
Some common heat transfer applications include:
- Direct and indirect-fired hot oil heaters in asphalt plants
- Hot corrugation and gluing
- Dehydration
- Molding and extrusion equipment
- Plastic and wax coating equipment
- Organic synthesis hot oil systems
