Texas Refinery Corp.'s
HEAT TRANSFER OIL
is an amber colored oil. It is a paraffin base oil of 95
viscosity index. The oil has a high boiling point as
well as the ability to transfer heat without a great
amount of heat loss. |
Contains
Quality Base Oils
The
base oils used in HEAT TRANSFER OIL
have been put through special refining steps to improve many of
their exceptional characteristics. The oils are put through a
solvent refining process to remove undesirable characteristics
that might lead to sludge or gum build-up under heat. Then the
oils go through a hydro-treating process which further improves
the oil's resistance to oxidation. This step also improves the
oil's response to superior quality additives used by Texas
Refinery Corp. The oil also goes through a dewaxing process to
make it suitable for this application.
For
Closed, Cold-Oil-Sealed Systems
HEAT
TRANSFER OIL is designed to
transfer heat at an acceptable rate. Asphalt plants are just one
of the many types of companies that can benefit from the use of
this product.
In an
asphalt "hot oil heater," circulating oil is pumped through a
closely-wound, spiraling coil to form the unit's primary heat
exchange surface area. The combustion gases travel the full
length of the heater coils and return around the outside
perimeter of the baffle before exiting into the stack. The oil
is then circulated in a closed system to the process area
requiring heat. The surge tank contains reserve oil and it also
acts as a cold seal as well as a reservoir for heated oil
expansion.
Resists
Oxidation
HEAT
TRANSFER OIL contains outstanding
oxidation inhibitors. In addition to the special refining, very
expensive oxidation inhibitors are used to give this product
longer life. In addition to its ability to transfer heat
correctly, its biggest selling point is the fact that it resists
oxidation longer than most products.
Prevents
Metal Corrosion
Oils,
especially under heat, will attack metals such as copper, brass
or bronze. The oils used by Texas Refinery Corp. are less likely
to attack these yellow metals than most other products on the
market, but special metal pacifiers prevent any chemical
reaction between the hot oil and the yellow metals. This in turn
prevents corrosive attack to the metals and any sludging of the
oil.
Wide Operating Temperature Range
HEAT TRANSFER OIL is a high VI
paraffin oil. It is safe to use up to 5250F. in a
closed system and where minimum shutdown temperatures are not
below 200F. With its higher specific heat and thermal
conductivity at all temperatures, it provides more rapid heating
and greater flexibility in a system. It can be used with great
efficiency where high heat transfer rates or high flow rates at
reasonably low temperatures are desired.
Versatile
Businesses
that have need for this type of oil include, but are not limited
to, heat-treating companies, textile operations, carpet
industries, asphalt companies and a wide variety of other
companies that use an oil capable of withstanding high heat and
resisting oxidation. |
