Heat Transfer Fluids

For non-pressurized closed-loop thermal systems

Paratherm™ LR Low Range HTF

SINGLE FLUID HEATING AND COOLING – NON AROMATIC – NON AQUEOUS

Paratherm LR low range 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 450°F in electric and steam heaters and down to a -58°F surface temperature in direct-expansion exchangers. Registered HT-1 for incidental food contact by NSF

OPERATING RANGE

Minimum Startup Temp (300cSt)Maximum Operating Temp
-112°F / -80°C450°F / 232°C

FEATURES

  • Premium NSF HT-1 heat transfer fluid
  • Exceptional low temperature & dielectic properties
  • Efficient alternative to glycols & silicones

APPLICATIONS INCLUDE

REDUCE PROCESS HAZARDS WHEN PROCESSING WATER-SENSITIVE PRODUCT

Many products undergo a violent exothermic reaction when exposed to water. Paratherm LR low range fluid 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 low range heat transfer fluid has higher heat-transfer coefficients than 50% ethylene-glycol and 50% propylene-glycol solutions below -22°F and -4°F respectively. And while glycol solutions have a maximum operating temperature of 320°F, Paratherm LR is completely stable up to it’s 450°F maximum operating temperature. Stability tests showed less than 3% degradation after 500 hours at 550°F.
