The use of a flushing and cleaning protocol to remove foreign contaminants
Heat transfer fluid (HTF) cleanliness is critical to the effectiveness and safety of an HTF system. Routine monitoring of HTF condition is a critical part of ongoing HTF system maintenance. However, the condition of any fluid introduced into a HTF system needs to be monitored closely to ensure that foreign contaminants are not introduced. View the file View
Keeping industry spinning
Thermal fluids are used in a variety of sectors including manufacturing pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, textiles, petrochemicals and food. If a pump can be said to be the heart of industry and a control system the brain, then we could argue that thermal fluids are industry’s circulatory system. Here, Clive Jones, managing director of Global Heat Transfer describes best practice and the health warnings that can help diagnose problems with heat transfer systems and thermal fluids. Heat Transfer fluid maintenance and analysis are essential operations that need to be conducted periodically. Unfortunately, many plant managers don’t realise that there is a problem… View
