Eastman Heat Transfer Fluid, Packaging Size : 210L Barrel

Eastman Therminol® 55 heat transfer fluid is a unique, synthetic fluid designed to provide reliable, consistent heat transfer performance over a long life at recommended bulk temperatures up to 300°C (570°F).• Delivers excellent cost performance over the fluid life when compared to common mineral oil-based heat transfer fluids, even when operating temperatures reach a maximum extended use temperature of 315°C (600°F).• More readily pumpable at low temperatures than the majority of other mineral oil-based heat transfer fluids.• Savings in capital, operations, and maintenance costs are often achieved when used in applications that traditionally use steam as a heating medium.Therminol 55 is available in the Americas and AsiaPacific.

It delivers efficient, dependable, uniform process heat with no need for high pressures. The high boiling point of Therminol 55 helps reduce the volatility and fluid leakage problems associated with other fluids.The recommended maximum bulk and film temperatures for Therminol 55 are based on industry-standard thermal studies. Operation at or below these temperature maximums can provide long service life under most operating conditions.Actual fluid life is dependent on the total system design and operation and can vary by heat transfer fluid chemistry. As fluid ages, the formation of low- and high-boiling compounds may result. Low-boiling compounds should be vented from the system as necessary to a safe location away from personnel and sources of ignition and in compliance with applicable regulations and laws. The high-boiling compounds can be very soluble in the fluid. Significant overheating or fluid contamination will accelerate decomposition and may result in increased high-boiler and solids concentrations. Excess solids can typically be filtered for removal.Therminol 55 has been shown to be significantly less sensitive than mineral oils to the negative consequences (sludging, fouling) of thermal oxidation. Eastman recommends that systems utilizing Therminol 55 fluid should be blanketed with an atmosphere of inert gas to protect against the effects of fluid oxidation on its performance and life expectancy. Pressure relief device(s) should be installed where required.Therminol 55 is noncorrosive to metals commonly used in the construction of heat transfer systems.While Therminol 55 has a relatively high flash point, it is not classified as a fire- resistant heat transfer fluid. Consequently, the use of protective devices may be required to minimize fire risk and users of Therminol 55 should check with their safety and risk management experts for specific instructions.
