Oil UK Flushing Additive Concentrate is a blend of non-corrosive high flash point materials, completely soluble in oil, which has a high solvent action on gums and varnishes.
All thermal fluids are susceptible to oxidation even though the rate of oxidation is considerably retarded in those higher grade products (such as Oil UK Therm Oils) based on specially refined oils and incorporating the correct anti-oxidants. Mineral oil oxidation results in the formation of organic acids, alcohols, ketones and aldehydes most of which are soluble in the oil and increase its acidity and viscosity. In time, however, some of the above compounds form insoluble gums on heater coils, and sludge and varnish causing reduced performance in heat transfer systems.
Oil UK Flushing Additive Concentrate removes such oxidation products and quickly restores cleanliness, thermal stability and trouble-free operation
Best results are obtained by adding Oil UK Flushing Additive Concentrate to the system in the proportion of 5% of the system heat transfer fluid volume content, i.e. 50 litres of additive for every 1,000 litres of heat transfer fluid. In cases of very severe contamination, a stronger proportion of up to 10% is recommended.
The system should then be operated for 100-150 hours before draining and filling with new oil.
Thermal Fluid Systems can also be flushed out by emptying the system of fluid completely and replacing with Oil UK Flushing Oil.
The system should then be operated for 100-150 hours before draining and filling with new oil.
Flushing Oil does not neutralise the acidic products of mineral oil oxidation. Therefore, draining after the specified period is essential. After the use of Oil UK Flushing Oil all filters should be thoroughly cleaned before the introduction of new oil.
Oil UK Super System Flush Concentrate is a non-corrosive high flash point additive which is completely soluble in heat transfer fluids.
This highly concentrated product has a high solvent action on gums and varnishes which have built up on internal surfaces of heat transfer systems due to oxidation and thermal degradation of thermal fluids during long term continuous high temperature operation.
gums, sludge and varnishes on internal surfaces and heater coils causing reduced system performance.
Oil UK Super System Flush Concentrate, when added to used and degraded thermal fluid prior to replacement, removes varnishes and contaminants and quickly restores system cleanliness, ensuring system efficiency and the avoidance of contamination of the new replacement fluid.
Best results are obtained by adding Oil UK Super System Flush Concentrate to the current in-use thermal fluid in the proportion of 1% to 3% of the system heat transfer fluid volume content, depending on the level of contamination, i.e. 10 to 30 litres of additive for every 1,000 litres of heat transfer fluid. The system should then be operated for 100-150 hours before draining and filling with new oil.
