What are the effects of water entering the heat transfer oil?

What are the effects of water entering the heat transfer oil? Is the heat transfer oil used for heat transfer very sensitive to water? What is the required moisture content?

A phenomenon known as \"boiling over\" can occur; it’s similar to what happens when you cook food – if there is some water in the pan and you add oil and increase the temperature, the oil will splash around. When the temperature rises above 100 degrees, water will boil or erupt violently, causing the heat transfer oil to splash and potentially harm people or equipment.   During storage, transportation, and use, it is essential to strictly prevent moisture from entering the heat transfer oil. Since heat transfer oil is immiscible with water, at high temperatures water exists in the heat transfer oil in gaseous form, leading to unstable system pressure as well as cavitation or water hammer in the circulation pump, which severely affects the safe operation of the heat transfer oil heating system. Therefore, once moisture gets mixed into the heat transfer oil, strict dehydration treatment must be carried out during operation to remove the moisture from the system.

Boiling over will occur, with oil spraying from the high-level tank.

True, heat transfer oil also needs to be dehydrated
