DOWTHERM® J
DOWTHERM® J can be used in the liquid phase down to -110°F and up to 600°F. In the vapor phase, the operating range is from 181°F to 315°F. This liquid is exceptional for the most demanding heating and cooling applications for single-liquid batch processing.
DOWTHERM® J can be used in the liquid phase down to -78℃ and up to 315℃. In the vapor phase, the operating range is from 181℃ to 315℃. This liquid is exceptional for the most demanding heating and cooling applications for single-liquid batch processing.
Dowtherm® J exhibits exceptional thermal stability in both the liquid and vapor phases. DOWTHERM® J heat transfer fluid offers exceptional pumpability at low temperatures, as well as excellent thermal stability; this provides protection against unintentional overheating.
Dowtherm® J heat transfer fluid has an extremely low crystal point that can completely eliminate the need for steam heating (although ventilation ducts may still require frost protection). Dowtherm® J exhibits excellent heat transfer properties, even at very low temperatures, with a viscosity of approximately 8 cps at -73℃. DOWTHERM® J heat transfer fluid can also be used in the vapor phase.
Batch processing with DOWTHERM® J heat transfer fluid eliminates system flushing requirements that can be associated with steam and brine and steam and glycol systems. DOWTHERM® J heat transfer fluid is non-corrosive to metals and alloys commonly used in heat transfer systems, providing peace of mind regarding compatibility.
This product is intended for use in a pressurized, closed system with a nitrogen blanket and an expansion vessel.
