Lämmonsiirtoljy

Lämmönsiirtoljy, also known as heat transfer fluid or thermal oil, is a liquid used to transfer heat in industrial processes and mechanical systems. It circulates through a closed loop, absorbing heat from a source and then releasing it at a point where heat is required. Unlike water, which has limitations due to its boiling point and potential for corrosion, lämmönsiirtoljy can operate at higher temperatures and pressures without vaporizing.

These fluids are typically mineral oil-based, synthetic hydrocarbons, or silicone-based compounds. The choice of fluid depends on the specific operating temperature range, the materials of the system, and safety considerations. Lämmönsiirtoljy finds applications in a wide array of industries, including chemical manufacturing, food processing, plastics production, and solar thermal energy systems. Its ability to maintain stable temperatures is crucial for process efficiency and product quality.

Proper maintenance of lämmönsiirtoljy systems is essential to ensure optimal performance and longevity. This includes regular monitoring of the fluid's condition, checking for degradation, contamination, and maintaining correct fill levels. Over time, heat transfer fluids can break down due to thermal stress and oxidation, which can lead to reduced efficiency and potential damage to the system. Therefore, periodic fluid analysis and replacement are often recommended.
