Lämpönsiirtoöljyjärjestelmät

Lämpönsiirtoöljy, also known as heat transfer oil, is a specialized fluid used to efficiently transfer heat from one location to another. It is commonly employed in industrial processes where precise temperature control is essential. Unlike water, which has a lower boiling point and can cause corrosion, heat transfer oils can operate at higher temperatures without vaporizing or degrading.

These oils are typically synthetic or mineral-based and are formulated to have excellent thermal stability, low viscosity, and good heat transfer properties. Their low viscosity allows for easy pumping and circulation, while their high thermal stability ensures they can withstand prolonged exposure to elevated temperatures without breaking down into sludge or coke. This stability is crucial for maintaining system efficiency and preventing damage to equipment.

The applications of heat transfer oils are diverse, ranging from chemical processing and plastics manufacturing to food production and solar thermal energy systems. In solar thermal systems, for instance, heat transfer oil absorbs solar energy and transports it to a heat exchanger, which then heats water or another medium for various uses. The choice of heat transfer oil depends on factors such as the operating temperature range, desired fluid properties, and specific application requirements. Regular monitoring and maintenance of heat transfer oil systems are important to ensure optimal performance and longevity.
