KEEPING SAMPLES ACCURATE

摘要

It's reported that the decomposition rate of a hot heat transfer fluid (HTF) is 0.03 per cent, per day. In reality, the rate of decomposition in normal production is influenced by a number of factors, including the type of heat transfer fluid used, the heat transfer system design, the extent of oxidation and the operating temperature of the system. The lack of guidance on how often HTF should be replaced means that regular sampling tests are vital in maintaining a safe environment for plant workers. Here Clive Jones, managing director of Global Heat Transfer discusses the importance of conducting accurate HTF sampling.
