In the chemical processing industry, it is used for temperature control of batch reactors, in heat recovery from process streams and exhaust gases and in large central systems where multiple heat users are involved. In the plastics industry, it provides accurate temperature control for platens, molds, extruders and laminating rolls. For die casing, MultiTherm provides low maintenance control of die temperature. MultiTherm properties result in more efficient use of energy than many other fluids.
Low pressure drops reduce pump horsepower requirements.
Heater outlet temperatures can be reduced since MultiTherm's high flu film coefficients allow lower approach temperatures. Lower Equipment Costs Fluid properties can also affect equipment costs. Its high fluid film coefficient can reduce the heat exchanger area required for a given heat load. All organic heat transfer fluids undergo thermal degradation over time. As it degrades, it produces small carbon particles that do not stick to system surfaces, but remain suspended and are easily drained or filtered out.
