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 450°F in electric and steam heaters and down to a -58°F surface temperature in direct-expansion exchangers.
Applications include:
- Specialty chemical batch heating and cooling
- Pharmaceutical Production Equipment
- Secondary Coolant (“Brine”) Systems
- Replacing Silicone Oil? Simply drain and refill
- Food-Grade
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 -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.
