Can graphite heat exchangers use heat transfer oil?
Thread Content
As the title suggests, can graphite heat exchangers be used with heat transfer oil? Will this cause corrosion? Will the heat exchange efficiency decrease over time? I hope an expert can help answer this. Thank you
Yes, but there are requirements regarding the layout of the heat exchanger’s flow

Could you please specify what the requirements are? Or any reference materials would also be helpful. Thank you
Graphite heat exchangers can be heated using heat transfer oil, and it is important to ensure that the operating temperature remains within the design range of the heat exchanger.
So, the heat transfer oil itself does not corrode graphite and has no effect on it, right?
Heat transfer oil does not cause corrosion to graphite heat exchangers. However, the output oil temperature of conventional heat transfer oil boilers is around 300 degrees, while the operating temperature of graphite heat exchangers should be kept below 200 degrees. Therefore, it is important to ensure that the operating temperature remains within the design range of the heat exchanger.
