Sludge Resistant Heat Transfer Fluids

Sludge-resistant heat transfer fluid

Cutting-edge sludge-resistant heat transfer fluids (HTF) from respected industry brands like Paratherm, among others, have significant oxidation resistance and offer extended active service life. Designed to be zero-pressure fluids, they can supply precise and even temperature control in closed-loop-type thermal oil systems where the heat transfer fluid is often exposed to air. Sludge-resistant heat transfer fluids are formulated with exceptionally stable base oils, with specially selected additives to enhance their properties. A high-performance oxidation stabiliser and inhibitor is included to manage unwanted fouling. The performance of sludge-resistant thermal fluids is especially outstanding under demanding conditions that quickly result in severe levels of oxidation, and subsequent sludge formation in more standard heat transfer fluids.

Efficiency of sludge-resistant heat transfer fluids

Engineered with low viscosity, sludge-resistant thermal fluids can deliver exceptionally high thermal efficiencies that are even higher than many synthetic solutions. The thinner or lower in viscosity that a heat transfer fluid is, the less energy is needed to pump it within thermal oil systems. Furthermore, the low viscosity means that a smaller motor and pump can be specified for the system, leading to lower power consumption on site – producing annual savings for operations year upon year.

Applications for sludge-resistant heat transfer fluids

Sludge-resistant thermal fluids are utilised in applications and industries where conventional heat transfer fluids would be prone to fouling and degradation, because of the build-up of particulate matter and sludge. For this reason, common application for sludge-resistant heat transfer fluids include chemical processing, industrial drying processes, plastics, polymers and textiles, engineered products like wood and other building materials.
