Therminol^® Information Bulletin No. 6 – Heat Transfer Fluid Maximum Temperature Ratings

Heat transfer fluids are assigned a "maximum use temperature" or "maximum temperature rating" by the fluids' manufacturer. The reliability and overall cost of operation of a heat transfer system can be directly related to the fluid’s thermal stability—the key parameter for determining a fluid’s maximum temperature rating.

Download this informative bulletin for answers to your questions about the importance of heat transfer fluid maximum temperature ratings. It answers questions like:

• What is Thermal Stability?
• How is Thermal Stability Measured?
• How do Fluids Degrade?
• Why is Accurate Fluid Temperature Rating Important?
• How Does the Temperature Profile Affect Fluid Performance?
• What Affects Maximum Fluid Life?
