Where and how you take a thermal fluid sample can make all the difference in what the test results reveal. Where a sample should be taken is simple – any location where there is flow and the temperature is above 180°F. A blowdown valve on the pump suction strainer housing is a good bet since […]
Why Sample? Thermal fluids usually don’t telegraph that they are about to fail. Generally the only hint of impending doom is some fall off in temperature control in the heat user which requires an increase in the heater temperature to compensate. Once the power is shut off and the fluid cools however, it’s a very […]

How well (or how poorly) does lab testing reflect real-world manufacturing conditions? In the real world, oxidation of heat transfer fluids occurs in a vented reservoir or expansion tank that for whatever reason is hot (>70°C). The acids formed in the expansion tank subsequently circulate through the system, decomposing in the heater and producing […]
