Description

DOWTHERM RP Synthetic Organic Heat Transfer Fluid 460lb Drum

DOWTHERM RP synthetic organic heat transfer fluid is a diaryl alkyl intended for use in applications that require liquid phase heat transfer. DOWTHERM RP fluid can be used in non-pressurized systems, and is pumpable to 0°C (32°F).

A major advantage of DOWTHERM RP fluid is the fact that it degrades primarily to low molecular weight products, reducing the need to remove high molecular weight material from the system.

Recommended use temperature range: DOWTHERM RP fluid can be used to a maximum bulk temperature of 350°C (660°F) and a maximum film temperature of 375°C (710°F).

Features of DOWTHERM RP Synthetic Organic Heat Transfer Fluid

• Can be used in non-pressurized, liquid phase systems.
• Has good low temperature properties, reducing the need for heat tracing.
• Has a high flash point. Exhibits excellent thermal stability at the maximum use temperature.
• Degrades primarily to low molecular weight products—no build-up of high molecular weight products that must be removed from the system.
• Has a single dose oral toxicity that is considered to be extremely low.

Expansion Tank Design for DOWTHERM RP Synthetic Organic Heat Transfer Fluid

Even though DOWTHERM RP 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 considerably shorten the fluid life.

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