Product Description

Therminol 59 is a synthetic heat transfer fluid with excellent low temperature pumping characteristics and thermal stability.

Performance Benefits

  • Heating or Cooling Operation—Therminol 59 has surprisingly low viscosity for a high-temperature heat transfer fluid. It is ideally suited for combination heating and cooling applications, delivering excellent heat transfer rates even at 20°C (70°F). Batch processes will benefit from the excellent cooling performance Therminol 59 delivers.
  • Superb Low viscosity at exceptionally cold temperatures makes this an ideal fluid for colder climates. In fact, Therminol 59 was originally developed for use on the North Slope in Alaska, a supreme test of low-temperature pumpability.
  • Long Life Means Low Cost—Users can expect many years of reliable, trouble-free operation, even when operating continuously at the recommended upper temperature limit of 315°C (600°F). Long life means fewer fluid change-outs, and that means low operating cost, which is critical in today’s highly competitive business environment.
