Thermofluids
We recommend the thermal fluid shown in our catalogue. The name of a thermal fluid is
derived from the working temperature range and the viscosity at 25 °C.
Examples of thermal fluids in our catalogue:
M40.165.10:
•
Lower working limit -40 °C
•
Upper working limit 165 °C
•
Viscosity at 25 °C: 10 mm

The data sheet for the thermal fluid used is of utmost importance, and must be read
before use. This data sheet should be followed.
•
Please note the classification of your machine according to DIN 12876
•
The chosen thermal fluid must be compatible with stainless steel 1.4301 (V2A)
and FKM!
•
The maximum viscosity of the thermal fluid may not exceed 50 mm²/s at the
lowest temperature reached!
•
The maximum density of the thermal fluid may not exceed 1kg / dm³
•
For chillers we recommend as thermal fluid a mixture of water and glycol (a
mixture is recommended that permits a temperature down to -25°C).
