HELISOL® heat transfer fluids allow for a significant power block efficiency increase in large-scale applications and raise the temperature limit up to 425 °C. Moreover, HELISOL® heat transfer fluids have a significantly reduced hydrogen formation during operation compared to organic thermal oils.

Benefits of HELISOL® heat transfer fluids

  • Exceptional thermal stability
  • Highest max. working temperature: 425 °C
  • Very broad temperature range: -40 to 425 °C
  • Low pour point: < -40 °C
  • Lower hydrogen formation
  • Low fouling potential
