Meeting global demand for freshwater production is critical for developing countries bordering the world’s oceans. Some existing desalination technology uses heat transfer fluid for the distillation step, which can happen with the aid of a vacuum for increased boil-up rates.
Eastman Therminol® heat transfer fluids support these process needs, whether the energy source is concentrated solar or fuel-fired heaters. The thermal stability of Therminol ensures long fluid life, fouling resistance and excellent fluid-side heat transfer coefficients for consistent and reliable service.
Therminol 66 is a high-temperature, liquid-phase heat transfer fluid that remains pumpable at low temperatures and offers exceptional thermal stability. It is specifically engineered to resist solids formation and system fouling, ensuring improved reliability and potential cost savings.
