Product Description
Thermaflo® LH is a reclaimed, high-performance synthetic heat transfer fluid based on benzyltoluene chemistry. This benzyl aromatic compound delivers exceptional thermal efficiency in closed-loop forced circulation systems, serving as an economical alternative for operations already utilizing similar benzyltoluene-based fluids. Its narrow boiling range of approximately 4°C enables versatile operation in both liquid and liquid-vapor phase applications, making it particularly valuable for processes requiring precise temperature control.
- Extended High-Temperature Capability: Operates reliably from -30°C to 360°C (-22°F to 680°F) with intermittent film temperatures reaching 380°C (716°F).
- Versatile System Compatibility: Functions effectively in non-pressurized systems up to 280°C, and in pressurized configurations for higher temperature demands.
- Seamless Integration: Serves as a direct makeup fluid for systems running Marlotherm LH with no performance compromise.
- Superior Safety Profile: Features a high autoignition temperature of 450°C (842°F), providing an added margin of safety in demanding industrial environments.
