FLUSHING FLUID - THERMINOL FF

Flushing Fluid

Therminol FF is the first synthetic flushing fluid for liquid phase heat transfer systems. Deposits from oxidized, thermally degraded or contaminated fluid can foul interior surfaces, making it necessary to clean the system prior to charging with new fluid.

Therminol FF is a key component of a low cost alternative to chemically cleaning a heat transfer system containing severely degraded or contaminated organic heat transfer fluid. Deposits from oxidized, thermally degraded or contaminated fluid can foul interior surfaces, making it necessary to clean the system prior to charging with new fluid.

Therminol FF is a synthetic hydrocarbon with a high flash point and initial boiling point, making it much safer to use.

Due to its high boiling point Therminol FF can be safely heated up to 1600 C while circulating in the system to increase its strong solvent action and overall effectiveness as a cleaning fluid.

Small amounts of Therminol FF left in the system will be miscible and compatible with most organic heat transfer fluids. This compatibility factor means less downtime. Water based cleaning solutions add costly drying time to a clean-out procedure, creating additional chance for contamination. Therminol FF eliminates drying, the significantly reducing the length of the procedure.

Performance Benefits

  • Fast and Easy–Using Therminol FF to flush your fouled system is faster than chemical cleaning and requires less downtime. This is because you simply drain the old fluid, add Therminol FF and circulate, drain and refill with your new heat transfer fluid.

  • Less Costly–Therminol FF is a key component of a low-cost alternative to chemically cleaning a heat transfer system containing severely degraded or contaminated organic heat transfer fluid.

  • Compatible With New Fluid–Therminol FF is compatible and miscible with most organic heat transfer fluids, which means less downtime is required for system cleaning.

  • Safety–Therminol FF is a synthetic hydrocarbon with a high flash point and high initial boiling point, making it much safer to use than other cleaning solvents.

  • Effective–To help you decide on the correct clean-out procedure, your Therminol specialist can help you develop the necessary parameters required to maximize the effectiveness of the flushing process.

Bulk Temperature And Film Temperature In Thermic Fluid Heating

Thermic fluid heaters and its working temperature is always a perplexing term and it is also mostly misunderstood expressions. Generally, all thermic fluid manufacturers recommend certain economic operating temperature or optimum fluid bulk temperature based on its useful life of the product. Hence, the manufacturer of Thermic Fluid Heaters recommends a continuous operating temperature of 300 °  degrees Centigrade for such a heater in their expectations or estimation of temperature profiles. But it is important to understand various aspects of temperature when thermic fluid flows through tubes of heater. When fluid flowing in the coils or tubes of the heater, a very thin layer of the fluid all along the metal periphery vehemently adheres to the solid metal very strongly. This layer never moves and form a film or layer which is a stationary oil film. This film creates very high resistance to heat flow from outer heated metal surface to circulating thermic fluid. This resistance depe...

USE OF THERMIC FLUID HEATERS, ENSURING RELIABILITY AND LONGER LIFE FOR THERMIC FLUID

Thermic Fluid Heater is most popular in almost every industries and it is being used for various heating applications due to unique advantage over other heating systems like steam heating, electrical heating, direct firing, air heating etc., because of the following exceptional advantages:- Very low working pressure and safe from explosion hazards. Heat transfer medium or working fluid remains in liquid phase throughout and higher overall heat transfer. Greater efficiency of heat utilization , superior fuel-saving possibility, and better return on investment for the industry. No botheration continuous water treatment for feed water in case of steam boiler. No problem of scale deposition on heating surface. New generation thermic fluids with excellent properties are available in the market Better heat transfer coefficient, higher thermal stability, and long-life cycle Exemption from Indian Boiler Regulations Act and related formalities Thus, many unique advantages when selecting the the...
