Description
PerfectoTM HTS 16 is a high temperature synthetic heat transfer fluid. It has a higher thermal stability than conventional
mineral oil heat-transfer fluids, and thus can be used at bulk temperatures up to approximately 20 ° C / 68 ° F higher. It has
low vapor pressure, high specific heat and high thermal conductivity.
Application
Perfecto HTS 16 is recommended specifically for use in non-pressurized liquid-phase systems that operate at bulk fluid
temperatures in the range 320 ° C - 350 ° C / 608 ° F - 662 ° F, and at maximum film temperature of 374 ° C / 705 ° F. (In
systems where the bulk temperatures are below 320 ° C / 608 ° F, the mineral-based Perfecto HT 5 may be used). Where
the expansion-tank temperature exceeds 50 ° C / 122 ° F a nitrogen blanket should be employed, to minimize oxidation of
the fluid.
Before being commissioned, the system should be pressure-tested for leaks and thoroughly flushed through with
Perfecto HTS 16. Under no circumstances should water be used. When the system has become clean, the flushing
charge should be drained off and the system filled with Perfecto HTS 16. Careful venting should be carried out while the
fluid's temperature is being raised, to remove all air and moisture from the system.
Advantages
-Excellent heat-transfer properties, that can be maintained over long periods of time.
-Very good thermal stability, allowing the fluid to be used at bulk-fluid temperatures of up to 350 ° C / 662 ° F.
