Therminol
59 is a synthetic heat transfer fluid with excellent low temperature
pumping characteristics (to -50° F or -45° C) and thermal stability to
600° F (315° C). Performance features of Therminol 59 include:
Heating or Cooling Operation
- Therminol 59 has surprisingly low viscosity for a high temperature
heat transfer fluid. It is ideally suited for combination heating and
cooling applications delivering excellent heat transfer rates even at
70° F (20° C). Batch processes will benefit from the excellent cooling
performance Therminol 59 delivers.
Superb Low Temperature Pumpability
- Low viscosity at exceptionally cold temperatures makes this an ideal
fluid for northern climates. In fact, Therminol 59 was originally
developed for use on the North Slope in Alaska, a supreme test of low
temperature pumpability.
Long Life Means Low Cost
- Like all the Therminol heat transfer fluids, long fluid life is a
given with Therminol 59. Users can expect many years of reliable,
trouble-free operation, even when operating continuously at the
recommended upper temperature limit of 600° F (315° C). Long life means
fewer fluid change-outs and that means low operating costs, which is
critical in today’s highly competitive business environment.
Therminol 59 is used in a wide variety of industries, such as:
Oil and Gas Processing
Switch Condensers
Pharmaceuticals Manufacturing
Specialty and Batch Chemical Production
Biodiesel
