What is paratherm NF?
PARATHERM NF HEAT TRANSFER FLUID IS AN ULTRA-PURE MINERAL OIL WITH HIGH NAPHTHENIC CONTENT. A carefully engineered blend of mineral oils refined by multiple hydrotreatment processes, Paratherm NF Heat Transfer Fluid exhibits extreme purity and high naphthenic content.
What is paratherm used for?
Paratherm NF is a non-toxic heat transfer fluid for use in high temperature applications. It is safe to handle and easy to dispose of. Notes: See Paratherm for electrical and optical properties.
What is heat transfer fluid used for?
A liquid or a gas that transfers heat from one component to another is called heat transfer fluid (HTF). These fluids are used in processes where cooling or heating is required to obtain and maintain a particular temperature.
What is heat transfer fluid made of?
The chemistries that are used as low-temperature heat transfer fluids are salt brines, hydrocarbons and silicone oils. Glycols such as propylene glycol (PG), ethylene glycol (EG) and 1,3 propanediol (Bioglycol) are used for freeze protection below 32ºF and can be used up to 350ºF with a proper additive package.
What are the 5 types of heat transfer?
Contents
- 2.1 Advection.
- 2.2 Conduction.
- 2.3 Convection. 2.3.1 Convection-cooling.
- 2.4 Convection vs. conduction.
- 2.5 Radiation.
How do I choose a heat transfer fluid?
First, choose a synthetic organic fluid, a silicone fluid or an inhibited glycol-based fluid based on your temper- ature requirements. If your heat transfer application has a maximum-use temperature requirement above 175˚C (350˚F), consider a synthet- ic organic or silicone fluid.
What are the 3 methods of heat transfer?
Heat can be transferred in three ways: by conduction, by convection, and by radiation.
- Conduction is the transfer of energy from one molecule to another by direct contact.
- Convection is the movement of heat by a fluid such as water or air.
- Radiation is the transfer of heat by electromagnetic waves.
