Heat Transfer Oil FAQs
What is the typical lifespan of heat transfer oil?
The lifespan of heat transfer oil typically ranges from 3-5 years with proper maintenance. Regular monitoring of fluid condition, maintaining proper system temperature, and preventing contamination can significantly extend the service life. We recommend quarterly oil analysis to track thermal degradation.
How often should heat transfer oil be replaced?
Heat transfer oil should be replaced when the Total Acid Number (TAN) exceeds 1.5 mg KOH/g or when the viscosity changes by more than 15% from the original value. Other indicators include increased carbon content, decreased flash point, or visible contamination.
