Vapor-phase system design guide
Eastman Therminol® vapor-phase heat transfer fluids are specifically designed to meet the demanding requirements of vapor-phase systems. They combine exceptional heat stability and low viscosity for efficient, dependable, uniform performance. Physical characteristics of the heat transfer fluid should be considered in the general arrangement of any heat transfer system in which it is to be used. This document provides a design, operating and maintenance guide for heat transfer systems using Therminol VP-1, Therminol VP-3 or Therminol LT.
Liquid-phase system design guide
Every thermal fluid system is different. Operating temperatures, flow rates, process equipment, system components and a host of other design details vary from system to system. But one thing remains constant: properly designed and operated heat transfer fluid systems are exceptionally reliable and economical. This guide is for assisting in the design, operation and maintenance of liquid-phase heat transfer systems using Therminol fluid.
