Modern chemical and production processes often need liquid heat transfer media with special properties. One solution is heat transfer oil: a mineral or synthetic oil that can work at high temperatures (up to 410 °C) without harming equipment.
Key properties of heat transfer oil:- Types: mineral and synthetic (including aromatic oils, designated AMT).
- Temperature range: from −115 °C to +410 °C.
- Applications: closed and open systems (baths, dual-circuit boilers).
- Service life: up to 10,000 hours (mineral) and five times longer (synthetic) under proper operating conditions.
Advantages over water and steam- Wide temperature range (50–410 °C)
- No corrosion and no need for water treatment
- Low operating pressure (up to 0.6 MPa / 6 bar)
- High heat capacity and even heating
- Environmentally friendly (closed cycle without emissions)
- System capacity up to 45 MW per heater
Applications1. Oil temperature control units — keeping moulds at temperature (up to 300 °C).
2. Steam generators — indirect heating to produce steam.
3. Air heaters — drying units, ventilation.
4. Thermal oil boilers — heating fuel oil, chemical reactions, drying.
5. Food, chemical and woodworking industries — from bakeries to plastics production.
ALPHA OIL heat transfer oil is a universal solution for high-temperature processes that combines efficiency, safety and economy. The right choice and quality control of the heat transfer fluid ensure long, uninterrupted equipment operation.
