Product Description

RFCTHERM-55(also called as RFCTHERM-HAB) heat transfer fluid is a unique, synthetic fluid which designed to provide reliable, consistent heat transfer performance over a long life. it's constituent is Heavy Alkylbenzene, It is designed for use in non-pressurized/low pressure, indirect heating systems. It delivers efficient, dependable, uniform process heat with no need for high pressures. The high boiling point of RFCTHERM 55 helps reduce the volatility and fluid leakage problems associated with other fluids. The recommended maximum bulk and film temperatures for RFCTHERM 55 are based on industry-standard thermal studies. Operation at or below these temperature maximums can provide long service life under most operating conditions. RFCTHERM-55 is equivalent with Therminol-55.

RFCTHERM-55 has been shown to be significantly less sensitive than mineral oils to the negative consequences (sludging, fouling) of thermal oxidation. Eastman recommends that systems using this fluid be blanketed with an atmosphere of inert gas to protect against the effects of fluid oxidation on its performance and life expectancy. Pressure relief device(s) should be installed where required. this fluid is noncorrosive to metals commonly used in the construction of heat transfer systems.

Performance Benefits

• Long Life—You will get years of reliable, cost-effective performance, even when operating your system continuously at 320°C . This means you do not have to over-specify your fluid.
• Excellent resistance to fouling— Because RFCTHERM 55 is a synthetic fluid, it resists the effects of oxidation much better than mineral oils, meaning less oxidation and solids formation. For systems without nitrogen inerting, the performance advantages are significant.
• Excellent Low-Temperature Pumpability—RFCTHERM 55 have excellect pour point, compared to some mineral oils that will not pump at temperatures below –7°C.

The Temperature Range for Use

Liquid: -40℃ to 320℃.
