Therminol design guide—Systems design data guide
There are several things to consider when selecting components for heat transfer systems, many of which are listed in this guide. Find recommendations on piping system applications, various types of stem seal valves, how to minimize leaks from bolts and joints, proper installation of pumps and seals, and insulation designs to reduce fire hazards.
Therminol design guide—Vapor phase systems design guide
Eastman Therminol® vapor-phase heat transfer fluids are specifically designed to meet the demanding requirements of vapor phase systems. They combine exceptional heat stability and low viscosity for efficient, dependable, uniform performance. Physical characteristics of the heat transfer fluid should be considered in the general arrangement of any heat transfer system in which it is to be used. This document is a design, operating, and maintenance guide for heat transfer systems using Therminol VP-1, Therminol VP-3, or Therminol LT.
Therminol design guide—Liquid phase systems design guide
Every thermal fluid system is different. Operating temperatures, flow rates, process equipment, system components, and a host of other design details vary from system to system. But one thing remains constant: properly designed and operated heat transfer fluid systems are exceptionally reliable and economical. This guide is for assisting in the design, operation, and maintenance of liquid-phase heat transfer systems utilizing Therminol fluid.
Therminol technical information bulletin—Heat transfer system expansion tank design
The design of the expansion tank in a liquid-phase heat transfer system using Eastman Therminol® heat transfer fluid or other organic fluids is an important parameter in the total system’s successful operation. A correctly installed and maintained expansion tank can contribute to increased fluid life along with lower maintenance associated with the various mechanical components of the system, such as pumps, gaskets, seals, and heaters.
