Oxidation occurs when a fluid comes in contact with air at elevated temperatures and is one of the most common ways a fluid suffers from degradation, usually resulting in sludge formation within the...

Water in any high temperature heat transfer system is not only a nuisance it can be very dangerous. Care must always be taken to ensure water is not introduced into your system....

Fluids expand when they're heated, and all heat transfer systems need to account for this. Expansion tanks do just as their name suggests - they give that expanded fluid a place to go. But how do you...

Nothing puts a heat transfer fluid to the test more than an open bath application. By nature these applications leave the fluid exposed to the atmosphere, resulting in the number one cause of fluid...

With literally thousands of uses for heat transfer fluids it is nearly impossible for any heat transfer fluid manufacturer to recommend an exact oil change interval or maintenance schedule....

An overview of basic procedures to follow when starting up or shutting down your heat transfer system that will help maximize the life of your fluid by reducing incidents of thermal degradation....

Heat transfer fluids are exceptionally safe if specified correctly for the application and some basic guidelines are followed with respect to their use and handling. Still, it's very important to...

The scientific definition of oxidative degradation is the reaction of oxygen (in air) with the fluid by a free radical mechanism to form larger molecules which end up as polymers or solids. These...
