Did you know there are many options to consider when selecting thermal fluids?

  1. Temperature is Everything – match your bulk temperature but also consider film temperature, heater type
  2. Controlling Oxidation – high temperature air exposure can destroy the wrong fluid quickly
  3. Maximizing Fluid Life – short-term or long-term use – invest wisely
  4. Availability is Critical – thermal fluids are often critical to production – how long can you wait for your thermal fluid to ship?
  5. Reliable Service & Support – thermal fluids are maintenance-intensive, but can your vendor help you if there are problem

Duratherm LT

Engineered for a variety of heat transfer fluid processes requiring heating and cooling, Duratherm LT is ideal for batch processing operations requiring a low temperature heat transfer fluid that is pumpable down to -29°C (-20°F) – eliminating the need for heat tracing often required in outdoor applications.

  • 225°C (437°F) maximum operating temperature with excellent cooling properties
  • Pumpable at temperatures down to -29°C (-20°F)
  • Capable of performing both heating and cooling cycles
  • Suitable for use in outdoor heating and cooling applications
  • Runs cleaner for a longer service life
  • Easy to dispose of along with other waste oils
