What are the reasons for the decrease in the flash point of heat transfer oil? Is there a solution?
Reply #22023-04-22
The reasons for the decrease in the flash point of heat transfer oil may include the following: 1. Oxidation: When heat transfer oil is exposed to air for an extended period of time, its flash point decreases due to oxidation. 2. Impurities: The presence of impurities in heat transfer oil, such as water, oxygen, acids, and bases, can affect its performance and lower its flash point. 3. Overheating: The heat transfer oil exceeds its maximum operating temperature, which accelerates chemical reactions and further lowers its flash point. To address the issue of a lower flash point in heat transfer oil, the following measures can be taken: 1. Replace the heat transfer oil regularly: Timely replace aged or contaminated heat transfer oil to keep it clean and fresh. 2. Choose high-quality heat transfer oil: Try to purchase heat transfer oil of good quality, as this can improve its performance and service life. 3. Inspect the heat transfer oil: Conduct regular chemical analysis and physical tests on the heat transfer oil, and address any issues that are found promptly. 4. Strengthen maintenance: Enhance the maintenance of the heat transfer oil system to ensure its stable and safe operation. .
