Product Description

Therminol VLT is a synthetic, liquid phase heat transfer fluid with excellent heat transfer and fluid properties for extremely low-temperature applications. This fluid is ideally suited for single-fluid heating and cooling systems.

Performance Benefits

  • Very low temperature operation—Therminol VLT has excellent heat transfer performance at extremely low temperatures and offers the benefits of liquid coolant temperature control.
  • Cooling and/or Heating Operation—Therminol VLT allows a single fluid to be used in many general-purpose processes where both cooling and heating are required. The properties of Therminol VLT allow the same equipment to be used over its wide range of operation.
  • Easy Operation—Using Therminol VLT avoids the problems of using multiple fluids in the same piece of equipment and allows low-temperature operation with normal centrifugal pumps.
