Description

DOWTHERM T Synthetic Organic Heat Transfer Fluid 400 lb Drum

DOWTHERM T synthetic organic heat transfer fluid is a mixture of C14-C30 alkyl benzenes intended for use in applications that require liquid phase heat transfer. DOWTHERM T fluid can be used in non-pressurized systems, and is pumpable below -10°C (14°).

Recommended use temperature range: DOWTHERM T fluid has an optimum maximum use temperature of 288°C (550°F). It can be used to an extended bulk temperature of 315°C (600°F).

Features of DOWTHERM T Synthetic Organic Heat Transfer Fluid

• Designed for use in non-pressurized systems
• Liquid phase operation only
• Good low temperature properties allow for low temperature start-up
• Has a high flash point
• Good thermal stability at the maximum use temperature Single dose oral toxicity is considered to be extremely low, LD50 in rats >15,800 mg/kg.

Expansion tank design for DOWTHERM T Synthetic Organic Heat Transfer Fluid

Even though DOWTHERM T synthetic organic heat transfer fluid can be operated in a non-pressurized system, it is recommended that the tank have an inert atmosphere. Nitrogen padding should be used on the expansion tank to exclude oxygen from the heat transfer system. The presence of oxygen will cause accelerated fluid degradation, which will considerably shorten the fluid lifetime.

For additional system design information please consult Equipment for Systems Using DOWTHERM Heat Transfer Fluids (Form No. 176-01335).

For safety and handling information, please refer to the product Material Safety Data Sheet.
