Shell Heat Transfer S2 X is a premium quality heat transfer fluid for use in indirectly heated closed heat transfer systems. It is based on carefully selected highly refined mineral oils chosen for their ability to provide superior performance in heat transfer systems and contains an oxidation inhibitor to provide long service life.
Benefits:
- Extended maintenance intervals which provides extended oil life, provided efficient fluid heating and good pump circulation is ensured, such that film temperatures on the heater surface do not exceed the limits below.
- System efficiency. Low viscosity enables excellent fluidity and heat transfer over a wide temperature range. Has a low vapor pressure so resists cracking. Minimizes the formation of volatile decomposition products that would require recovery via expansion chamber and condensate collector.
- Wear Protection. This is non-corrosive and has high solvency which reduces deposit formation by holding oxidation products in solution and keeping internal surfaces of heat exchangers clean.
Areas of Consideration:
The service life of Shell Heat Transfer Oil S2 depends on the design and operation of the system.
Applications:
Use in closed heat transfer systems used in chemical and process plants, textile manufacturing etc. where the oil is circulated in a pumped system operating under atmospheric pressure with or without an inert gas blanket. Can be used in high temperature continuous heat transfer equipment with the following limits: Max Film Temp: 315°C, Max Bulk Temp: 290°C
