Therminol® D-12 Heat Transfer Fluid

Description

Therminol D-12 is a synthetic, liquid phase heat transfer fluid with excellent heat transfer properties over a wide temperature range. This fluid is ideally complement for applications that need efficient cooling and heating.

Performance Benefits

  • Heating or Cooling Operation—Therminol D-12 is ideally suited for combination heating and cooling applications and delivers great heat transfer rates even at -45°C (-50°F). Batch processes will benefit from the excellent cooling performance Therminol D-12 delivers. Therminol D-12 also may be used as a secondary coolant or “brine” in refrigeration loops where a broad range of properties is desired.
  • Easy Operation—Using Therminol D-12 avoids using multiple fluids in the same piece of equipment.
  • Low Cost—Therminol D-12 delivers better thermal performance at lower cost than competing fluids.
  • Low Odor and Excellent Toxicity Profile—Therminol D-12 is NSF registered with HT1 status, surpassing requirements for use where there is the possibility of incidental food contact.
