Therminol VP-1 heat transfer fluid is a synthetic heat transfer fluid designed to meet the demanding requirements of vapor phase systems from 495° F to 750° F (257° C - 400° C) or liquid phase systems from 54° F to 750° F (12° C - 400° C). Performance features of Therminol VP-1 include:
|
- Superb Heat Transfer Properties - Therminol VP-1 is a synthetic heat transfer fluid which combines exceptional thermal stability and low viscosity for efficient, dependable, uniform performance in a wide optimum use range of 54° F to 750° F (12° C - 400° C). Therminol VP-1 has the highest thermal stability of all organic heat transfer fluids.
- Vapor Phase Heat Transfer Fluid - Therminol VP-1 is a eutectic mixture of 73.5% diphenyl oxide (DPO) and 26.5% biphenyl. It can be used as a liquid heat transfer fluid or as a boiling-condensing heat transfer medium up to its maximum use temperature. It is miscible and interchangeable (for top-up or design purposes) with other similarly constituted diphenyl-oxide (DPO)/biphenyl fluids.
- Low Viscosity - Therminol VP-1 has a low viscosity to 54° F (12° C). Because of its crystallization point of 54° F (12° C), this fluid may require tracing in colder climates to avoid operational problems.
- Temperature Control - Due to its ability to operate as a vapor phase heat transfer fluid, Therminol VP-1 is superb for use in heat transfer fluid systems requiring very precise temperature control.
Therminol VP-1 is used in a wide variety of industries, such as:
- Fibers/Nylon Manufacture
- Chemicals
