Heat Transfer Fluids & System Cleaners
Heat transfer systems are production-critical assets. When fluid performance declines, temperature control, energy efficiency, and uptime suffer. As an Authorized Channel Partner and Distributor for Lubrizol, Fluid Dynamics provides the complete Paratherm ™ portfolio of high-performance heat transfer fluids and system cleaners for closed-loop thermal systems. We combine premium fluid chemistry with fluid analysis services, practical maintenance guidance, and expert technical support to keep your operations running smoothly.
Evolving Pressures in Thermal System Operation
Modern process tolerances are tightening, uptime expectations are rising, and the consequences of thermal fluid degradation—such as fouling, flow restriction, and unplanned shutdowns—are harder to absorb
Oxidation remains a leading cause of maintenance issues in closed-loop systems, particularly when fluid is exposed to oxygen due to expansion tank design limitations or seal failures. Effective thermal management starts with choosing the right fluid chemistry and maintaining a proactive strategy to protect system performance over time.
Advanced Thermal Performance & Key Features
Paratherm™ heat transfer fluids are non-aqueous, specialty liquid-phase solutions engineered to perform consistently in the most demanding industrial environments.
- Broad Temperature Range: Formulations are designed to operate safely across a wide thermal spectrum, from -126°F up to +650°F (-88°C to +343°C).
- Vapor-Free Efficiency: Synthetic organic-based fluids reach peak temperature ranges without boiling or entering a volatile vapor phase, ensuring excellent thermal efficiency compared to standard mineral oils.
- Low-Temperature Start-Ups: Engineered to stay completely fluid at lower limits, maintaining low viscosity (under 300 cSt) to prevent centrifugal pump strain and reduce system wear during cold starts.
- Exceptional Thermal Stability: Formulated to resist breakdown, Paratherm™ fluids exhibit up to 40% less degradation under extreme heat exposure compared to widely used competitive fluids. This level of stability protects your system during unexpected operating upsets.
- Broad Compatibility: Chemically equivalent and fully compatible with major heat treat fluid technologies, allowing for seamless integration and top-offs.
