Let’s go on speaking about thermoregulating units<\/strong><\/a>, and especially about a particular kind of heat transfer fluids, silicone based fluids<\/strong>. When they are employed?<\/p>\n

First of all, let’s say these are highly expensive fluids. Compared to water or diathermic oil<\/strong>, they have a very higher cost. But there are some applications where it is necessary to employ them, because for example a process need to start from very low temperatures<\/strong>, where a mix of water and glicole becomes hard to handle<\/strong> because it becomes too much viscuous. Or even at too much high temperatures, where glicole water would start boiling and it’s not possible to pressurize the plant.<\/p>\n

And so, we have to employ particular silicone based thermal transfer fluids, such as Therminol LT<\/strong> or Therminol D-12<\/strong>, that allow to work with very low temperatures and even with high temperatures, with atmospheric pressure circuits<\/strong>, and so not pressurized, but most of all, with a very low viscosity even at very low temperature<\/strong>s.<\/p>\n
