Therminol® VP-1: vapor phase heat transfer fluid
Therminol® VP-1 is an ultra high-temperature synthetic heat transfer fluid designed to meet the demanding requirements of vapor-phase systems or liquid-phase systems. Therminol® VP-1 can be used as a liquid or as a boiling-condensing heat transfer medium up to 400 °C. It is miscible and interchangeable (for topping up or design purposes) with other similarly composed diphenyl oxide/biphenyl fluids. Therminol® VP-1 enters the vapor phase at 257 °C.

Your benefits from using Therminol® VP-1 in your thermal oil systems
-
Superb heat transfer properties – Therminol® VP-1 is a synthetic heat transfer fluid which combines exceptional thermal stability and low viscosity for efficient, dependable, uniform performance in a wide optimum use range of 12° to 400°C. Therminol® VP-1 has the highest thermal stability of all organic heat transfer fluids.
-
Low viscosity – Therminol® VP-1 has a low viscosity to 12°C. Therminol® VP-1 has a low viscosity to 12°C and due to its crystallization point of 12°C, this fluid may require tracing in colder climates to avoid operational problems.
-
Vapor phase heat transfer fluid – Therminol® VP-1 is a eutectic mixture of diphenyl oxide (DPO) and biphenyl. It can be used as a liquid heat transfer fluid or as a boiling-condensing heat transfer medium up to its maximum use temperature. It is miscible and interchangeable (for top-up or design purposes) with other similarly constituted diphenyl-oxide (DPO) / biphenyl fluids.
-
Precise temperature control – due to its ability to operate as a vapor-phase heat transfer fluid, Therminol® VP-1 is excellent for use in heat transfer fluid systems requiring very precise temperature control.
