What are the properties of Therminol® 55 and its alternatives?

Globaltherm® 55 and its direct alternative Therminol® 55 are both high performance synthetic heat transfer fluids used in moderate temperature applications.

For over 35 years, Global Heat Transfer has worked with global manufacturers to develop high performance thermal fluids and proactive management and maintenance services. Global Heat Transfer stocks and delivers premium heat transfer fluid brands, including those alongside its Globaltherm® range.

Globaltherm® 55 shares many of Therminol® 55’s properties and is miscible for dilution purposes, enabling engineers to use the fluids interchangeably in an existing thermal fluid system with no negative impact. Both heat transfer fluids are designed to deliver optimal performance, enabling manufacturers to maximise productivity.

Properties of Therminol® 55

  • Therminol® 55 heat transfer fluid is a synthetic fluid that provides reliable, consistent heat transfer performance over a long life, at recommended bulk temperatures up to 290°C (554°F).
  • Globaltherm® 55 is used for applications operating from -28 °C (-18.4 °F) to 290 °C (554 °F). It’s broad temperature range means it can be used for both heating and cooling.
  • Both Therminol® 55 and Globaltherm® 55 deliver excellent cost performance over the fluid life span when compared to common mineral oil-based heat transfer fluids.
  • Both fluids are more readily pumpable at low temperatures than the majority of other mineral oil-based heat transfer fluids.
  • Globaltherm® 55 and Therminol® 55 offer savings in capital, operations, and maintenance costs. These are often achieved when used in applications that traditionally use steam as a heating medium.
