Shell Thermia BShell Thermia B
Requirements from a thermic fluid
Low corrosion tendency for the materials of the apparatus
Non toxic and non - smelly. Low sensitivity to impurities (e.g.. oxygen). Low fire risk. Low risk to the environment on leakage. Possibility of easy destruction (passing used
material into the natural circulation circuit). Economy of operation

Chemical Composition
• Mineral oils are mixture of hydrocarbons• Alkanes: Have carbon atoms arranged in
straight or branched chains.• Cycloalkanes: Contain some rings of carbon
atoms.• Aromatics:Contains rings of carbon atoms but
a lower proportion of hydrogen than cycloalkanes.

Viscosity
• Viscosity increases with oxidation.• Viscosity decreases with thermal
cracking.• Viscosity affects turbulence of flow.• Viscosity at operating temperature is
more important.

Flash Point
• Lowering of flash point is indication of something wrong but not necessarily dangerous.
• Method of sampling is very important.• Sustenance of flash point during
operation is very important from safety view point.
Best performer in most demanding conditions
Shell Thermia BShell Thermia B
Flash Point
• COC (IP36/ASTM D 92) or IP 35• PMCC (IP 34/ ASTM D 93)• Difference between the two flash points
will be typically 15 0 C• Repeatability difference: +/- 70 C• Reproducibility difference:+/- 160 C

Shell Thermia BShell Thermia B
Oxidation Stability
• Effect of Oxygen (or Air) on oil properties• Various component of oil vary in oxidation
resistance.• Modern refining removes components with
low oxidation resistance• Higher the temperature higher will be rate of
oxidation • Copper & its alloys are catalysts for oxidation
Best performer in most demanding conditions
Shell Thermia BShell Thermia B
Oxidation Stability
• Oxygen attacks hydrocarbons to form unstable peroxide derivatives.
• Some unstable peroxides further react to form acidic products which are oil soluble.
• Some form non soluble gum and sludge.• Acidity and insoluble matter is measure of
oxidation of oil.
Best performer in most demanding conditions
Shell Thermia BShell Thermia B
Oxidation Stability
• Severe oxidation results in viscosity increase• Oxidation in Heat transfer system takes place
mainly in DE tank• Pump may suck air causing oxidation• Recharging of leaked fluid is also a source of
oxidation
Best performer in most demanding conditions
Shell Thermia BShell Thermia B
Thermal Stability
• Mineral oil is complex mixture of hydrocarbons varying in structure and molecular weight each with its own characteristic breakdown temperatures.
• Cracking is rupture of a carbon-carbon or carbon-hydrogen bond.
• Cracking reduces viscosity.• Cracking reduces flash point.

Shell Thermia BShell Thermia B
Thermal Stability
• Lower weight molecular join to make heavy molecules which appear as deposits
• Deposits lower heat transfer efficiency
