Heat Transfer Fluids

Hitherm B Rvn no : 1

Diathermic fluid
Description
Hitherm B is a high performance heat transfer oil recommended for most installations. It meets the requested qualities for diathermic fluids:

• Thermal stability
• Chemical stability
• Low vapour tension
• Fully neutral towards metals
• Non toxic
• Benefits
• Viscous oil from highly refined paraffinic base oil

Benefits

• Higher resistance against thermal cracking than conventional (higher viscosity) fluid
• Oxidation resistant ?     Faster transfer to turbulent flow also during start-up operations thanks to good low temperature fluidity
• Less energy consumption resulting in reduced operating costs
• Extended service and fluid life

Applications
Hitherm B is recommended for heat transfer systems in a generator equipped with expansion vessels and a proper circulation speed, where the maximum oil temperature does not exceed 315 °C.
