The maximum recommended film temperature is 375°C.

Globaltherm® Syntec Heat transfer fluid is recommended for heat transfer systems operating under mild temperature
conditions, where low temperature fluidity is required to ensure the correct flow rate during start-up.

Globaltherm® Syntec Heat transfer fluid has low toxicity. For food and pharma applications refer to Globaltherm ® FG
HT1 certified food grade heat transfer fluid.

4. SERVICE CONSIDERATIONS

As with any heat transfer oil, certain precautions should be taken to ensure satisfactory performance of Globaltherm®
Syntec Heat transfer fluid in service:

 Before full temperature is imposed, all air and water should be completely vented;
 Hot oil is rapidly oxidised by air, causing thickening and deposit formation. At places where the oil is in contact
with the atmosphere (e.g., the expansion vessel) oil should not exceed 70°C for prolonged times or the oil
needs to be blanketed with inert gas. Copper and its alloys promote rapid oil degradation in the presence of
air and need to be avoided at these places; and,
 Hot oil circulating pumps must be checked frequently to prevent air from entering.

An analytical routine check of the heat transfer medium, while it is hot and circulating, should be part of the routine
maintenance plan. This check should be carried out at least once a year, preferably three to four times a year. Testing
can be carried out by Global Heat Transfer - via the Thermocare® lifecycle management programme - to all users of
Globaltherm® Heat transfer fluids. The thermal fluid parameters which are measured will allow our experts an accurate
assessment of the condition of the fluid. This way, Thermocare ® testing and analysis programmes ensure prolonged
and trouble-free operation of the fluid. Changes to the condition of the fluid are quickly detected and managed with
Thermocare® and can be avoided in time before more extensive damage (to both system and fluid) and further costs
are incurred.

programmes and heat transfer fluid testing and analysis.

5. COMPATIBILITY

While unused Globaltherm® Syntec Heat transfer fluid is compatible with most organic and synthetic heat transfer oils
prior laboratory testing is recommended before topping-up the system with this product. Adding Globaltherm® Syntec
Heat transfer fluid as a top-up to used fluids may help to increase fluid life (i.e., aromatic types). Please contact the
technical team for more information and lab services and sample and analysis on +44 (0) 1785 760555.

6. HEALTH AND SAFETY

Globaltherm® Syntec Heat transfer fluid presents no hazard to health or safety under good standards of industrial and
personal hygiene. Full details of health and medical procedures are contained in the Material Safety Data Sheet.
