MultiTherm 503®
process heating and cooling in standard low pressure equipment
MultiTherm 503®
is a high quality non-toxic heat transfer fluid for use in closed loop liquid phase heating and cooling systems from 10°F to 500°F.
Purpose
MultiTherm 503® has been successfully
used in a variety of applications. In the
Chemical Process Industry
, it has been
used for heating and cooling batch
reactor systems. In the Plastics Industry,
MultiTherm 503® has been used for
hot/cold cycling of molded products and to
improve the versatility of laminating lines.
MultiTherm 503® provides users with a
non-toxic, low pressure alternative to synthetic
chemical based heating/cooling fluids.
MultiTherm 503® meets the requirements
for FDA regulations 21CFR178.3620(b)
non-food articles in contact with food.
MultiTherm 503® provides users with a
safe, durable and economical heat transfer
fluid without the potential hazards posed
by some conventional thermal fluids.
Non-Toxic
Promotes Plant and Personal Safety
MultiTherm 503® has distinct advantages
over many synthetic heat transfer fluids.
It contains no components recognized as
Hazardous Chemicals under OSHA
Hazard Communication Standard. There
are no Reportable Substances under
SARA Title III (302) (304) (311) (312)
(313). The fluid does not normally cause
skin irritation on contact. Vapors may
have a mild odor but do not normally
cause respiratory irritation. All these
advantages combine to provide a safe, user
friendly alternative to synthetic fluids.
Lower Costs
Reduced Maintenance Costs
MultiTherm 503® can help reduce system
maintenance costs. It has excellent metal
coating properties and lubricity, which
reduce wear on moving parts and
protects surfaces from corrosion.
Chemically inert, it won’t attack gaskets
and seals. And since MultiTherm 503®
operates in low pressure equipment,
there are no pressure control or purging
systems to maintain.
Minimize Leak Testing
Fluids with high vapor pressure can require
extensive leak testing prior to start-up to
prevent fluid loss during operation. This
can add significantly to total maintenance
down time. With MultiTherm 503®,
system pressure is limited to pump
circulating pressure so leak testing
requirements are significantly reduced.
