LubeMax Heat Transfer Oil

LubeMax Heat Transfer Oil

GZ Industrial Supplies is the distributor and supplier of lubemax products in Nigeria. LubeMax Heat Transfer Oils are high-quality straight or inhibited mineral oils developed for use in open and/or closed liquid-phase heat transfer systems. They have excellent  thermal stability and provide excellent resistance to cracking and sludge formation for long service life. They are not recommended for use in vapor-phase heat transfer systems. Heat Transfer is a straight paraffinic mineral oil recommended for use in closed systems operating under relatively mild conditions are paraffinic mineral oils fortified with select additives that provide enhanced oxidation resistance for long service life

*Protection for wear
LubeMax Heat Transfer oil is non-corrosive and has high solvency – this reduces deposit formation by holding oxidation products in solution and keeping internal surfaces of heat exchangers clean.

*System efficiency
The Low viscosity of this oil enables excellent fluidity and heat transfer over a wide temperature range. it also has a low vapour pressure thereby resisting cracking. This minimizes the formation of volatile decomposition products; these would require recovery via expansion chamber and condensate collector. 

*Good conductivity: Provides rapid cooling and heating operations.

*Good Pumpability: Good pumpability at startup provides low energy requirements

Application of LubeMax Heat Transfer Oil

LubeMax Heat Transfer Oil is recommended for use in closed liquid-phase heat transfer systems equipped with a cold-oil seal pot on the expansion tank vent, or operating with low-pressure nitrogen blanketing of the oil so there is no possibility of air contacting the oil during operation. For best performance, the maximum bulk oil temperature should not exceed 550°F(288°C).  Max. film temperature :550°F (288°C).

 Some common heat transfer applications include:
• Direct and indirect-fired hot oil heaters in asphalt plants
• Hot corrugation and gluing
• Dehydration
• Molding and extrusion equipment
• Plastic and wax coating equipment

Additional information on LubeMax Heat Transfer Oil 

LubeMax Heat Transfer Oils are recommended for use in closed liquid-phase heat transfer systems equipped with expansion tanks and pressure relief valves, where the maximum bulk oil temperature does not exceed 550°F (288°C). Preventive measures should be taken to minimize oil oxidation by eliminating air from the system prior to bringing the oil up to operating temperature. The use of an inert gas, such as nitrogen, under positive pressure in the expansion tank is recommended at all times during operation. Under no circumstances should the hot oil come into contact with air.

LubeMax Heat Transfer Oils also are recommended for use in open liquid-phase heat transfer systems equipped with cold-oil sealed expansion tanks, where the maximum bulk oil temperature does not exceed 374°F (190°C).

 Features/Benefits of LubeMax Heat Transfer Oil

• Excellent resistance to thermal breakdown at high temperatures
• Excellent performance in both open and closed heat transfer systems
• Long service life
• Excellent deposit control
• Low odor
• Noncorrosive

Frequently Asked Questions.

1. What is heat transfer oil?

Heat transfer oil is a specialised type of fluid designed for transferring and carrying heat between different components or systems in various industrial processes.

2. What are the main applications of heat transfer oil?

Heat transfer oil is used in a wide range of applications, including thermal fluid heaters, industrial ovens, chemical reactors, pharmaceutical processes, and various manufacturing processes that require precise temperature control.

3. Is heat transfer oil flammable?

Heat transfer oils are designed to have high flash points and low flammability to ensure safety during operation. However, it's important to follow proper handling and storage practices to minimise risks.
