As the operating range of high temperature heat transfer fluids expands beyond 750°F, the design of equipment used with these fluids, including high temperature pumps, must evolve as well.
In many industrial processes, heating and cooling play essential roles in the implementation or achievement of special quality characteristics. More specifically, processes in which heat transfer fluids supply or remove energy serve this purpose.
Thermal fluids, also commonly known as heat transfer fluids, HTFs, hot oils or thermic fluids, are designed to provide accurate, uniform temperature control to process operating units while still maintaining low system pressures.
Specifications for Calflo, Petro-Therm and Purity FG HTF heat transfer fluids, manufactured by Petro-Canada Lubricants Inc., have been added to aspenOne Engineering software. The companies expect the additions to the Aspen HYSYS and Aspen Plus modeling software to provide engineers with a range of solutions when designing a heat transfer system.
Water is nature’s heat transfer fluid, a liquid used since the dawn of time to heat and cool. It freezes at 32°F (0°C) and boils at 212°F (100°C). To extend the liquid range, other chemicals are added such as ethylene and propylene glycol.
While propylene glycol and ethylene glycol are the most widely used glycols, another member of the glycol family — TEG — fills a niche for systems that need liquid process cooling and heating.
January marks the return of our annual Equipment Overview on Heat Transfer Fluids, which includes all of the fluid characteristics needed to select a heat transfer fluid for industrial thermal processing.
Giving careful consideration to heat transfer fluids provides optimal system performance. Gain insight into common problems with industrial thermal fluid heating and get takeaways you can put into action in your plant.
