Paratherm™ LR Low Range Heat Transfer Fluid
Single Fluid Heating and Cooling – Non Aromatic – Non Aqueous
Paratherm LR heat transfer fluid is an aliphatic-hydrocarbon based heat transfer fluid designed for use in closed-loop, liquid phase heating and cooling systems up to 232°C in electric and steam heaters and down to a -14°C surface temperature in direct-expansion exchangers. Registered HT-1 for incidental food contact by NSF
Applications include:
- Specialty chemical batch heating and cooling
- Pharmaceutical Production Equipment
- Secondary Coolant (“Brine”) Systems
- Replacing Silicone Oil? Simply drain and refill
- Food Processing
Reduce Process Hazards when Processing Water-Sensitive Product
Many products undergo a violent exothermic reaction when exposed to water. Paratherm LR can be used safely for temperature control in these reactions because, unlike water/glycols, it’s not mixed with water. And because it contains no double bonds or bonded oxygen molecules, it’s extremely stable.
Wider Temperature Range than Glycols
Paratherm LR has higher heat-transfer coefficients than 50% ethylene-glycol and 50% propylene-glycol solutions below -5°C and -15°C respectively. And while glycol solutions have a maximum operating temperature of 160°C, Paratherm LR is completely stable up to it’s 232°C maximum operating temperature. Stability tests showed less than 3% degradation after 500 hours at 287°C.
