Description

DOWTHERM G is a stable, low pressure liquid-phase heat transfer fluid. This fluid offers the benefits of low vapor pressure with high thermal stability, as well as pumpability at moderately low temperatures. DOWTHERM G is a mixture of di- and tri-aryl compounds. Dowtherm G heat transfer fluid provides superior performance in liquid phase heat transfer systems. Dowtherm G has a recommended operating temperature between 20 °F and 675 °F.

DOWTHERM G heat transfer fluid is a highly stable, low pressure fluid. These characteristics can minimize problems that may result from accidental overheating caused by inadequate circulation, flame impingement, or improper heater firing.

Start-up and shutdown problems are minimized by Dowtherm G heat transfer fluid’s exceptional flow characteristics at low temperatures. DOWTHERM G has high flash, fire and autoignition points. Dowtherm G presents no fire hazard at ambient temperatures.

This product is to be used in a closed, pressurized system with an expansion tank and nitrogen blanket.
