media (summary)

1. Operational criteria for selection


– Toxicity and handling (maximum allowable concentration, etc.)
– Environmental compatibility: odor, biodegradable, costs for
disposal of used product, taking back by the supplier, etc.
– Operation risks and operational safety
Hazard category
Combustibility and combustion behavior
Enthalpy of reaction (calorific value)
Auto Ignition behavior and self-ignition in air (of the vapors)
Reactions with existing operating fluids
Risk at leakages, leaking of product in the ambience or in counter
circuits. When liquid enters, for example, in absorbing insulating
materials, self-igniting explosive mixtures can be formed with air
due to wicking action. For this reason not-absorbing insulation
materials are to be used.
– Thermostability

content. – Security of supply regarding prices, quantities stored, and
delivery periods
– Reference list about heat transfer plants in operation, collected
operational experience, and recommendations of producers of the
heat transfer plants.
2. Special criteria for selection
– Admissible temperature range, min./max. application
temperatures, max. film temperature
– Low pour point
– High boiling temperature or late boiling point
– Small increase of vapor pressure with the temperature
– High specific thermal capacity
– Low viscosity at deep temperatures: criteria for start-up and
filling as well as for economical pump operation according to
Wagner [1]
– High thermal conductivity
– No unrequested formation of layer on the heat-exchanging
surfaces that means no fouling factor that causes additional
energy demand, flow reduction, and cleaning costs
– Aging and oxidation resistance; insensitive to catalytic acting
foreign substances, for example, acids, salts, water, air humidity,
metal shavings, rust or mounting fats (oils), in particular after the
start-up
