| Texas Refinery Corp.'s HEAT
TRANSFER OIL is an amber colored oil. It is a paraffin base oil
of 95 viscosity index. The oil has a high boiling point as well as the
ability to transfer heat without a great amount of heat loss. |
HEAT TRANSFER OILContains
Quality Base Oils
The base oils used in HEAT
TRANSFER OIL have been put through special refining steps to improve
many of their exceptional characteristics. The oils are put through a solvent
refining process to remove undesirable characteristics that might lead
to sludge or gum build-up under heat. Then the oils go through a hydro-treating
process which further improves the oil's resistance to oxidation. This
step also improves the oil's response to superior quality additives used
by Texas Refinery Corp. The oil also goes through a dewaxing process to
make it suitable for this application.
HEAT TRANSFER OILFor
Closed, Cold-Oil-Sealed Systems
HEAT TRANSFER
OIL is designed to transfer heat at an acceptable rate. Asphalt
plants are just one of the many types of companies that can benefit from
the use of this product.
In an asphalt "hot oil heater," circulating
oil is pumped through a closely-wound, spiraling coil to form the unit's
primary heat exchange surface area. The combustion gases travel the full
length of the heater coils and return around the outside perimeter of the
baffle before exiting into the stack. The oil is then circulated in a closed
system to the process area requiring heat. The surge tank contains reserve
oil and it also acts as a cold seal as well as a reservoir for heated oil
expansion.
HEAT TRANSFER OILResists
Oxidation
HEAT TRANSFER
OIL contains outstanding oxidation inhibitors. In addition to the
special refining, very expensive oxidation inhibitors are used to give
this product longer life. In addition to its ability to transfer heat correctly,
its biggest selling point is the fact that it resists oxidation longer
than most products.
HEAT TRANSFER OILPrevents
Metal Corrosion
Oils, especially under heat, will attack
metals such as copper, brass or bronze. The oils used by Texas Refinery
Corp. are less likely to attack these yellow metals than most other products
on the market, but special metal pacifiers prevent any chemical reaction
between the hot oil and the yellow metals. This in turn prevents corrosive
attack to the metals and any sludging of the oil.
HEAT TRANSFER OILWide
Operating Temperature Range
HEAT TRANSFER
OIL is a high VI paraffin oil. It is safe to use up to 5250F.
in a closed system and where minimum shutdown temperatures are not below
200F. With its higher specific heat and thermal conductivity
at all temperatures, it provides more rapid heating and greater flexibility
in a system. It can be used with great efficiency where high heat transfer
rates or high flow rates at reasonably low temperatures are desired.
HEAT TRANSFER OILIs
Versatile
Businesses that have need for this type
of oil include, but are not limited to, heat-treating companies, textile
operations, carpet industries, asphalt companies and a wide variety of
other companies that use an oil capable of withstanding high heat and resisting
oxidation. |
