Description

DOWTHERM MX synthetic organic heat transfer fluid

DOWTHERM MX synthetic organic heat transfer fluid is a mixture of alkylated aromatics designed for use as an alternative to hot oils in liquid phase heat transfer systems. DOWTHERM MX fluid is suitable for use in non-pressurized systems up to temperatures of 620°F (327°C).

Recommended Use Temperature Range: DOWTHERM MX fluid has a maximum use temperature of 625°F (330°C).

Features of DOWTHERM MX synthetic organic heat transfer fluid

• Designed for use in non-pressurized systems
• Liquid phase operation only
• Good low temperature properties allow for low temperature start-up and pumpability
• Has a high flash point
• Superior thermal stability compared to hot oils

Expansion Tank Design of DOWTHERM MX synthetic organic heat transfer fluid

Even though DOWTHERM MX fluid can be operated in a non-pressurized system, it is recommended that the tank have an inert atmosphere. Nitrogen padding should be used on the expansion tank to exclude oxygen from the heat transfer system. The presence of oxygen will cause accelerated fluid degradation, which will considerably shorten the life of the fluid.

For additional system design information, please consult Equipment For Systems Using DOWTHERM Heat Transfer Fluids (Form No. 176-01335).

For safety and handling information, please refer to the product Material Safety Data Sheet.
