Working continuously at elevated temperatures causes heat transfer fluids to degrade over time.<\/p>\n
Thermal cracking and oxidation cause molecules in the fluid to break down, producing solid carbon.<\/p>\n
Carbon build up can clog pipes, which can be detrimental to the system as well as the health and safety of the workforce. Plant managers can reduce the risk of downtime caused by fluid degradation by implementing regular thermal fluid monitoring and management services.<\/p>\n
Frequent sampling, available as part of preventative maintenance programmes, such as Global Heat Transfer\u2019s Thermocare, alerts plant managers to potential issues before serious damage occurs. Sampling at regular intervals can extend the lifespan of thermal fluid and help plant managers meet regulations.<\/p>\n
Now Thermal fluid specialist, Global Heat Transfer<\/a><\/span> has released three new synthetic heat transfer fluids in its Globaltherm range.
