composition, it can be classified into synthetic heat transfer fluids and mineral heat transfer fluids.
According to boiling range, it can be classified into vapor phase heat transfer fluids and liquid phase heat
transfer fluids.
3.2 Unused heat transfer fluids
Heat transfer fluids that have not been injected into the heat transfer system for use.
Under the operating conditions of the heat transfer system, the average main fluid temperature
of the heat transfer fluids measured at the boiler outlet is the working temperature; while the
maximum main fluid temperature of the heat transfer fluids allowed at the boiler outlet is the
maximum working temperature.
3.11 Maximum permitted film temperature
The liquid film temperature refers to the temperature in the boundary layer of the heat transfer
fluids in contact with the heating surface of the boiler; the maximum permitted film temperature
is the maximum permitted temperature where the heat transfer fluids contact the heating surface
of the boiler.
3.12 Calculated maximum film temperature
In the design of the heat transfer fluid boiler, the maximum film temperature of the boiler is
calculated according to the maximum design area heat flux density in the furnace and the design
heat exchange conditions of the heat transfer fluids in the furnace tube.
3.13 Initial boiling point (IBP)
The temperature point, using the petroleum fraction boiling range distribution method for
testing, and the accumulated area is equal to 0.5% of the total area of the obtained
chromatogram.
NOTE: The determination of the boiling range distribution of petroleum fractions adopts SH/T 0558.
3.14 Components with low boiling point
The substance that is distilled from the heat transfer fluids in use, with the temperature less than
the initial boiling point of the unused heat transfer fluids.
3.15 Bulk temperature at the inlet of boiler
The average main fluid temperature of the heat transfer fluids in use in the system return that is
measured at the boiler inlet.
3.16 Quality index
An index that is used to define the quality status of heat transfer fluids in use.
NOTE: According to its quality status, the quality index of the heat transfer fluids in use are divided into
permitted use quality index, safety warning quality index and stop-use quality index.
3.17 Closed heating system
The heat transfer system of heat transfer fluids in which the expansion tank is isolated from the
atmosphere.
NOTE: Closed systems usually use inert gas or cold oil liquid seals to isolate the expansion tank from
the atmosphere.
3.18 Opening heating system
The heat transfer system of heat transfer fluids in which the expansion tank communicates with
the atmosphere.
