LACK OF COLOR DOES MAKE A DIFFERENCE
As shown by its almost water-white appearance, Paratherm HE has an extremely low level of impurities. This is the result of the extended processing required to achieve it’s HT1 Rating-approved for incidental food contact by NSF-which removes the impurities that can catalyze fluid degradation. These impurities (such as aromatics, asphaltenes and sulfur bearing compounds) give lesser quality mineral-oil based fluids a slight to moderate yellow color.LOW VAPOR PRESSURE EQUALS GREATER STABILITY IN VENTED EXPANSION TANKS
Any vapors that are given off by a heat transfer fluid inside a vented expansion tank will react with air to produce the acids that eventually can cause sludge formation and fluid gelling. The higher the vapor pressure, the more vapor is produced and the greater the rate of oxidation. Paratherm HE has a negligible vapor pressure that produces almost no reaction with air in vented expansion tanks.GLT HEAT TRANSFER FLUID
ECONOMICAL CONTINUOUS SERVICE
Paratherm™ GLT Heat Transfer Fluid exhibited almost 40% less degradation when exposed to 600°F (316°C) for 500 hours than a widely used competitive fluid. Although very few heaters expose the fluid to the maximum film temperature for extended periods, this level of stability helps insure that your system operates trouble free during operating upsets. Minimum startup temperature is a realistic measure of a fluid’s low temperature capability since 300 cps is the maximum viscosity that a centrifugal pump can handle. Paratherm GLT Heat Transfer Fluid has a lower minimum start-up temperature 18°F (-6°C) than any mineral-oil based fluids that cover a similar temperature range.REBOILER SYSTEM

HR HEAT TRANSFER FLUID
High Temperature • High Thermal Stability
Synthetic
Paratherm™ HR Heat Transfer Fluid is an alkylated-aromatic based heat transfer fluid formulated for closed loop liquid phase heating to 650°F in fired heaters and 675°F in waste heat recovery and full convection heaters.Applications Include:
- Gas Processing
- Chemical Processes
- Waste Oil Recovery
- Biodiesel Production
- Plastic Processing
- Biomass
Low Temperature Startup
Centrifugal pumps are generally specified around the fluid viscosity at the desired operating temperature (usually less than 2 cps). Capacity falls off significantly above 300 cps. So the actual minimum start-up temperature of a fluid is where the viscosity curve crosses the 300 cps line. Paratherm HR Heat Transfer Fluid’s lower cold start-up temperature of 13°F (-11°C) offers a significant advantage over other high temperature fluids.HOT OIL SYSTEM
