Thermal fluid: Water without ethylene glycol
Use ≥ 0 °C
Thermal fluid: Water-ethylene glycol mixture
Use < 0 °C
Thermal fluid composition
The mixture’s temperature must be 10 K below the permissible min. tem-
perature. For the permissible temperature range, refer to the datasheet
from page 58 in Section »Annex« .
For thermal fluids we recommend the media listed in the Huber catalog. The name of a thermal
fluid is derived from its working temperature range and its viscosity at 25 °C.
3.3 To be noted when planning the test
Also observe page 13 in section
»Proper operation« .
The focus is on your application. Bear in mind that system performance is influenced by heat trans-
fer, temperature, thermal fluid viscosity, volume flow, and flow speed.
▪ Make sure that the electrical connection is adequately dimensioned.
▪ The installation location of the temperature control unit should be selected so as to ensure ade-
quate fresh air, even with water-cooled chillers.
▪ Select the thermal fluid to be used in such a way that it not only permits the minimum and maxi-
mum working temperature but is also suitable with regard to fire point, boiling point, and viscosi-
ty. In addition, the thermal fluid must be compatible with all the materials in your system.
▪ Basically, you should only use the thermal fluid recommended by the manufacturer and only
within the usable temperature and pressure range.
▪ The application should be roughly at the same height of or below the temperature control unit if
the thermoregulation is close to the boiling temperature of the thermal fluid.
▪ Fill the temperature control unit slowly, carefully and evenly. Wear the necessary personal pro-
tective equipment, such as goggles, heat-proof and chemical-resistant gloves, etc.
For water-cooled temperature control units, please take the cooling water temperature necessary
for perfect operation and the required differential pressure from the data sheet from page 58
onward in the Section »Annex« .
