XCELTHERM® LV1 Biphenyl Replacement
Now you can operate your system
biphenyl-free!
As part of our continuing effort and commitment to improving heat transfer fluid technology, Radco Industries undertook the task of developing an alternative to biphenyl-based heat transfer fluids. Extensive research and development, combined with comprehensive testing, has resulted in the XCELTHERM®LV Series of biphenyl-free heat transfer fluids.
Two ways you can put XCELTHERM® LV to work
In creating XCELTHERM® LV*, we took a two-fold approach to developing a product line that addresses separate requirements for heat transfer fluids:
- As a biphenyl alternative - Using XCELTHERM® LV as a replacement for biphenyl-containing heat transfer fluids brings you environmental and operational benefits that enhance fluid life and provide system cost savings. Also, as all of the fluids in the XCELTHERM® LV line are comparable in performance and fully compatible with competitive biphenyl alternatives, you can immediately conduct fluid change-outs - with no sacrifice in results!
- As a liquid phase replacement fluid for non-biphenyl operations - If you are currently using a non-biphenyl liquid phase heat transfer fluid operating in a temperature range of 600°F to 660°F, switching to XCELTHERM® LV can offer you some outstanding benefits, including a 15% to 25% increase in heat transfer efficiency and superior thermal stability.
Experience the benefits of operating biphenyl-free!
Regardless of the LV fluid you choose as a biphenyl replacement, you can achieve the benefits inherent in this family of products:
- Environmentally Friendly - Whether you're operating within a residential area or located in the heart of the industrial section, this biphenyl alternative is ideal for companies striving to meet internal and external environmentally-mandated goals.
- Operational Cost-Savings - XCELTHERM® LV can free your company of the operational set-up costs and potential liabilities typically associated with chemicals having a reportable spill. You'll also reduce the removal and disposal costs required for these competitive products.
- System Benefits - The lower crystallizing point offered by each fluid in the LV Series translates into greater ease of system start-up and shut-down.
Easily move to XCELTHERM® LV
XCELTHERM® LV fluids are fully compatible with existing diphenyl oxide/biphenyl-based products. Therefore, you don't have to wait to start realizing the environmental and system benefits of XCELTHERM® LV. In fact, you can begin today by:
- Immediately adding XCELTHERM® LV to your existing system for make-up;
- Using XCELTHERM® LV as a replacement fluid for system change-outs; and
- Filling new systems with XCELTHERM® LV - to immediately gain environmental and system benefits.
Contact your Radco Fluid Specialist Engineer for assistance in switching to XCELTHERM® LV.
Gain the XCELTHERM® LV Liquid Phase advantage
In the Liquid Phase - depending on the LV fluid chosen and the particular fluid you're replacing - the LV Series can offer you anywhere from a 15% to 25% heat transfer coefficient advantage against competitive non-biphenyl liquid phase products operating in the 600°F to 660°F range. What does this increased heat-carrying capacity mean to your business? You can use XCELTHERM® LV to help you:
- Increase your production capability - at the same flow rate or
- Achieve significant energy savings - by using XCELTHERM® LV to deliver the same BTUs at a lower flow rate or reduced heater temperature.
- Gain economies in new system designs - by using XCELTHERM® LV's higher heat transfer capability to reduce your system component costs.
Finally, the superior thermal stability of XCELTHERM® LV versus other non-biphenyl liquid phase products means a longer fluid life - which translates into additional cost savings for your system!
