Heat Transfer Oil Analysis

Heat Transfer Systems Oil Analysis

Heat transfer systems are tough systems to manage. You have lots of hot oil and no matter what you end up with varnish. By sampling your heat transfer fluid regularly we can help your plant balance the oil life for maximum value.

Heat Transfer Fluid Testing Package

Elementals (Metals and Additives)

• Monitoring your oil for excessive metal (Rust), contamination and additives helps increase heat transfer and prevent long term problems.

Viscosity at 40C

• Monitoring your oils ability to flow is crucial. As the oil oxidizes it makes it harder to pump and can lead to poor thermal transfer if left go long enough.

Water Content

• Monitoring your oils water content helps reduce rust and can lead to longer oil life.

Flashpoint

• Monitoring your oils flashpoint is critical for safety. As the oil ages the flashpoint decreases from around 400F to sometimes below 200F, this can lead to an unsafe system and working conditions.

Debris Weight

• Monitoring your oils debris weight tells you exactly how much debris is circulating in your system. Increased debris weight leads to decrease in thermal efficiency and poor heat transfer.

By monitoring these key parameters we can help make sure your system is operating safely and transfer heat the best it can.
