5.1 LAUDA heat transfer liquids
DANGER!
Use of unsuitable heat transfer liquid
Fire
Select a heat transfer liquid with a temperature range suit-
able for the application.
Please note:
If the heat transfer liquid reaches the lower limit of the temperature
range, the temperature control properties can be expected to deterio-
rate as a result of the increase in viscosity. Therefore, only fully utilize
this temperature range when absolutely necessary.
Never use contaminated heat transfer liquids. Contamination in the
pump housing can cause the pump to seize and the device to shut down.
Observe the safety data sheet for the heat transfer liquid. You can
request a copy of the safety data sheets at any time, if necessary.
