lämpööljyäs

Lämpööljyäs refers to heat transfer fluids, often specialized oils, used in industrial processes to transport thermal energy. These fluids are designed to efficiently absorb heat from a source and transfer it to another location where it can be used for heating or other purposes. Unlike water, many heat transfer oils can operate at higher temperatures without building up excessive pressure.

The selection of a specific heat transfer fluid depends on the operating temperature range, pressure requirements, and compatibility with system materials. Common types include mineral oils, synthetic oils, and silicone-based fluids. Each type offers different thermal stability, viscosity characteristics, and longevity. For example, mineral oil-based fluids are generally cost-effective for moderate temperature applications, while synthetic fluids can withstand much higher temperatures and offer longer service life.

Proper maintenance of heat transfer oil systems is crucial for efficient operation and safety. This includes monitoring fluid condition, checking for degradation products, and ensuring proper levels. Over time, heat transfer oils can degrade due to oxidation, thermal cracking, or contamination, leading to reduced performance and potential equipment damage. Regular analysis of the fluid helps identify these issues before they become critical.
