XCELTHERM® 445FP Heat Transfer Fluid
Engineered for high flash point, high performance benefits!
Radco Industries' XCELTHERM® 445FP is a low-cost, efficient heat transfer fluid engineered with a high flash point of 445º F. If you're using a heat transfer fluid where the maximum bulk fluid temperature is limited by the flash point, a switch to XCELTHERM® 445FP helps you expand the operating boundaries, while delivering high performance and increased heat carrying capacity over competitive alternatives.
XCELTHERM® 445FP is ideal if you're trying to reduce flash point related insurance costs in industrial applications or striving to meet U.S. Coat Guard marine flash point regulations.
In addition, the superior thermal stability of 445FP -- versus other high flash point fluids in its temperature operating range -- means longer fluid life. This translates into additional cost savings for your system.
Use XCELTHERM® 445FP to keep your insurance costs in check. In industrial applications, the high flash point of XCELTHERM® 445FP may minimize or help you reduce the overall cost of insurance regulation compliance.
Insurance regulations often require additional -- and expensive -- building construction for any heat transfer fluid operated at temperatures above it's flash point of 425º F. The higher flash point of 445FP lets you run your systems at higher temperatures, while still meeting these regulations. It also helps you avoid the material, construction and building costs often required to help low flash point fluids comply with insurance regulations.
Additionally, insurance costs may be lower if a heat transfer fluid is used below it's flash point. XCELTHERM® 445FP gives you the ability to operate your system at a higher temperature and still be below the flash point.
Marine Regulation ready
According to U.S. Coast Guard Marine Regulations, heat transfer fluids used in shipboard operations must operate at temperatures below their flash points. Under these regulations, competitive products often limit you to a maximum temperature of 425º F or below. XCELTHERM® 445FP's higher flash point of 445º F gives you the ability to operate on-board systems at a higher temperature, and offers you an ideal solution to improve heat transfer system efficiency in your marine operations.
XCELTHERM® 445FP -- for increased heat carrying capacity
When we tested XCELTHERM® 445FP against the competition, results showed the XCELTHERM® 445FP delivers up to 15% more heat carrying capacity than other high flash point fluids. This means you can use 445FP to help you:
- Increase your production -- at the same flow rate;
- Deliver the same BTU -- at a lower flow rate, or reduced heater temperature; and
- Achieve economies in new system design -- by using XCELTHERM® 445FP's higher heat transfer capability to reduce your system component costs.
Service you can count on -- at the speed you need.
XCELTHERM® 445FP is backed by the finest analytical and in-plant troubleshooting in the industry. Our sales force is composed of graduate engineers who are trained heat transfer fluid specialists. And, we offer a wide variety of analytical services to help you maximize the efficiency of your system, including:
