Therminol 55 is a low-cost synthetic heat transfer fluid developed for use in non-pressurized, indirect heating systems. Added to the ex tensive Monsanto line of heat transfer fluids to meet exacting needs, Therminol 55 demonstrates thermal stability supe rior to that of hydrocarbon oils of comparative cost.
System start-up at temperatures as low as 0F. is possible, due to the low temperature viscosity characteristics of Therminol 55. It can be used at temperatures up to 600F. At 550F. and below, the fluid has extremely long life.
Therminol 55 systems should be blanketed with an inert atmosphere to minimize fluid oxidation. A system relief valve should also be provided.
Unlike the Therminol FR (fire-resistant) fluids, Therminol 55 can support combustion.
