Petro-Canada Purity FG Heat Transfer Fluid

Petro-Canada PURITY FG Heat Transfer Fluid

PURITY FG Heat Transfer Fluid is specifically designed to help lower operational costs by reducing the need for frequent fluid replacements in applications requiring food-grade standards. Its formulation begins with a base of 99.9% crystal-clear fluids, produced using Petro-Canada’s HT Purity Process. These base fluids are free from impurities that can compromise performance. Enhanced with advanced additives and backed by over 30 years of formulation expertise, the fluid delivers exceptional protection against oxidative breakdown, ensuring long-lasting, reliable performance.

Key Features
     •  High Thermal Efficiency: Operates effectively at temperatures up to 326°C (620°F).
     •  Extended Fluid Life: Outperforms leading competitors in thermal and oxidative stability, reducing change-out frequency and lowering operating costs.
     •  Enhanced Workplace Safety: Low vapor pressure minimizes fluid leakage, ensuring a cleaner, safer environment.
     •  Natural Lubricity: Extends the service life of circulating pumps and rotating parts, reducing maintenance costs.
     •  Fully Food-Grade Certified: Complies with HACCP and GMP standards, NSF HT1 registered, and FDA-compliant for incidental food contact. Certified Kosher, Pareve, and Halal.
Applications
PURITY FG Heat Transfer Fluid is ideal for non-pressurized, closed, liquid-phase heat transfer systems in the food and pharmaceutical industries. Common applications include:
     •  Central cooking facilities
     •  Drying processes
     •  Edible oil deodorizing
     •  Heating deep-frying oils
It’s also suited for heating baths where a virtually odorless, non-toxic* fluid is required, and in environments with unavoidable air exposure, such as the manufacturing of food packaging materials like bottles, films, and containers.

Benefits
Thermal and Oxidative Stability:
     •  Resists molecular breakdown, reducing vapor pressure and maintaining safe operating temperatures.
     •  Minimizes the risk of vapor locking, leakage, and pump cavitation.
     •  Prolongs fluid life and prevents costly premature replacements.

Low Vapor Pressure:
     •  Prevents leaks from valves and flanges.
     •  Reduces cleaning and maintenance requirements, lowering overall costs.

Natural Lubricity:
     •  Decreases wear on circulating pumps and other components, ensuring longer equipment life.
     •  Compliance and Safety:
     •  Meets the highest purity standards, fitting seamlessly into food-grade operations.

Operational Considerations
To maximize fluid performance and longevity, it is essential to avoid certain conditions:
     •  Sudden temperature increases or hot spots on heating coils need to be avoided.
     •  Continuous operation above the maximum recommended temperature can degrade the fluid.
Although PURITY FG Heat Transfer Fluid is resistant to oxidative degradation, air and water contamination can affect efficiency. To mitigate this:
     •  Air and moisture exposure in the expansion tank must be prevented.
     •  Petro-Canada recommends thorough system flushing before refilling with PURITY FG Heat Transfer Fluid to remove contaminants and ensure optimal performance.
By adhering to these guidelines, PURITY FG Heat Transfer Fluid can deliver exceptional reliability and cost-efficiency, making it a trusted solution for food-grade heat transfer systems.
