Therminol® 59: a heat transfer fluid with excellent low-temperature pumping characteristics and thermal stability

The synthetic heat transfer fluid Therminol^® 59 provides superior pumpability at low temperatures (pumpable at -49°C), ensuring trouble-free starts in cold climates while maintaining thermal stability at a recommended operating temperature of 315°C. Therminol^® 59 is available worldwide.

• Heating or cooling operations – Therminol^® 59 has a surprisingly low viscosity for a high-temperature heat transfer fluid. It's ideal for combined heating and cooling applications, delivering excellent heat transfer rates even at 20°C. For batch processes, Therminol^® 59's exceptional cooling performance is a key advantage.

• Superior low-temperature pumpability – the low viscosity at extremely low temperatures makes it an ideal fluid for northern climates. In fact, Therminol^® 59 was originally developed for use in Alaska's North Slope, providing an exceptional test of its low-temperature pumpability.

• Long life means low costs – operators of thermal oil systems can count on years of reliable, trouble-free operation, even when Therminol^® 59 is continuously operated at its recommended maximum temperature of 315°C. A long service life means fewer fluid changes, translating into lower operating costs – a critical advantage in today's competitive business environment.
