    Heat Transfer Analysis 9.12

    Uploaded by

    Gerencia Rigar Colombia SAS
    WearCheck's heat transfer oil test kit analyzes key areas of oil performance and degradation like oxidation and thermal cracking. Oxidation causes increased acidity and viscosity which can lead to deposits reducing efficiency, while cracking breaks down the oil chemically causing volatility and fire risks. The comprehensive test profile identifies any problems and their root causes to maintain efficient and safe system operation.

    Heat Transfer Oil

    Analysis
    WearCheck’s heat transfer oil test kit has been designed to enhance efficiency in thermal transfer machinery. Degraded or
    contaminated oil can cause reduced system efficiencies due to damaged pumps or fouled heat exchangers. Compromised oil
    can become a fire or explosion risk, it is therefore vital that heat transfer oils be tested regularly.

    Heat transfer oil analysis targets key areas of the oil’s performance, The heat transfer oil test kit is convenient, cost-efficient and uniquely
    contamination and degradation. For instance, oxidation of the oil will available from WearCheck on the African continent.
    result in elevated acid levels as well as an increased viscosity, and the by-
    products of this oxidation will lead to deposits in the system resulting in
    lower thermal efficiencies. Oxidation can be caused by excessive operating
    temperatures and/or the presence of metallic catalysts such as iron or
    copper, and over-extended fluid service.

    A second area of concern is thermal cracking. Here the oil’s chemical


    backbone is broken up into smaller, more volatile components. A significant
    variance between the closed cup and open cup flash point indicates a
    buildup of these volatile fractions which pose real fire and explosion risks.
    Thermal cracking can also manifest itself with decreased kinematic viscosity.

    By providing a comprehensive test profile, not only the problem, but also
    the root of the problem, can be discovered.
