The ins and outs of thermal fluid analysis
Thermal fluids are designed to operate effectively for many years, but over time, operating at and maintaining high temperatures means that the oil will naturally degrade. Thermal fluid analysis provides a deep dive into the condition of the oil and allows businesses to gain expert advice about how to effectively maintain the fluid and the system.

Taking steps early
To comply with industry regulations such as The Dangerous Substances and Explosive Atmospheres Regulations (DSEAR) of 2002 and UKEX (formally the Explosive Atmosphere Directive (ATEX 137)) in the UK, manufacturers using heat transfer fluids must take proactive steps to assess potential risks and implement measures to eliminate them as much as possible.

Avoiding downtime with proactive maintenance
Heat transfer systems and fluids can be challenging to maintain because, once introduced to the pipes, fluid is invisible and difficult to visually monitor. Proactively maintaining heat transfer fluids and systems can help businesses to reduce the cost of reinstalling a new system and the chance of system failure.
