Is Thermal Oil hazardous?

Emergency overview CAUTION ! MAY CAUSE RESPIRATORY TRACT, EYE AND SKIN IRRITATION. Prolonged or repeated contact can defat the skin and lead to irritation and/or dermatitis.

What is heat transfer oil used for?

Heat Transfer Oil is a highly refined and stable paraffinic oil designed to be used as a heat transfer medium and quenching oil. In many industrial applications heating is provided indirectly by circulating hot oil through a heat exchanger, thus reducing hot spots and increasing the safety of the heating process.

Is therminol 55 flammable?

Flammable liquid, Target Organ Effect, Harmful if swallowed.

Is thermal oil flammable?

Thermal oil is a flammable substance which can produce flammable mist to induce fire and explosion hazards at high temperature. Control of the working temperature of thermal oil is important for the safe operation of thermal oil heaters.

Is heat transfer fluid flammable?

DOWTHERM Q heat transfer fluid is a combustible material, but has a relatively high flash point of 249°F (120°C) (SETA method), a fire point of 255°F (124°C) (C.O.C.), and an autoignition temperature of 773°F (412°C) (ASTM Method E659-78).

What is heat transfer oil made of?

Specifications. Heat transfer fluids and thermal oils vary in terms of chemical composition. Synthetic products include ester and diester compounds, polyglycol and water-glycol fluids, and silicone-based greases and oils.

What is the best heat transfer fluid?

Water. Water is one of the best choices for liquid cooling applications due to its high heat capacity and thermal conductivity. It is also compatible with copper, which is one of the best heat transfer materials to use for your fluid path.
