Significance and Use4.1 The si

21、gnificance of each test method depends upon thesystem in use and the purpose of the test method as listed underSection 5. Use the most recent editions of ASTM test methods.5. Recommended Test Procedures5.1 Pumpability of the Fluid:5.1.1 Flash Point, Closed Cup (Test Method D93)This testmethod detect

22、s low flash ends which are one cause of cavita-tion during pumping. In closed systems, especially when fluidsare exposed to temperatures of 225 C or higher, the formationof volatile hydrocarbons by breakdown of the oil may requireventing through a pressure relief system to prevent dangerouspressure

23、build-up.5.1.2 Pour Point (Test Method D97)The pour point can beused as an approximate guide to the minimum temperature fornormal pumping and as a general indication of fluid type andlow temperature properties. Should a heat transfer system belikely to be subjected to low temperatures when not in us

24、e, thesystem should be trace heated to warm the fluid aboveminimum pumping temperature before start-up.5.1.3 Viscosity (Test Method D445 or D7042)Fluid vis-cosity is important for determining Reynolds and Prandtlnumbers for heat transfer systems, to estimate fluid turbulence,heat transfer coefficien

25、t, and heat flow. Generally, a fluid that isabove approximately 200 cSt is difficult to pump. The pumpand system design determine the viscosity limit required forpumping. The construction of a viscosity/temperature curveusing determined viscosities can be used to estimate minimumpumping temperature.

26、5.1.4 Specific Gravity (Test Method D1298 or D4052)Hydraulic shock during pumping has been predicted via the useof a combination of density and compressibility data.5.1.5 Water Content (Test Method D95)The water contentof a fresh heat transfer fluid can be used to indicate how longthe heat transfer

27、system shall be dried out duringcommissioning, while raising the bulk oil temperature throughthe 100 C plus region, with venting, before the system can besafely used at higher temperatures. The expansion tank shouldbe full during the operations to ensure that moisture is safelyvented in the lowest p

28、ressure part of the systems. Positivenitrogen pressure on the heat exchange systems minimizesentry of air or moisture. Heat transfer systems operating attemperatures of 120 C or greater shall, for reasons of safety,be dry, because destructive high pressures are generated whenwater enters the high te

29、mperature sections of the system.Heating the oil before it is placed in service also removes mostof the dissolved air in the oil. If not removed, the air can causepump cavitation. The air can also accumulate in stagnant partsof the system at high pressure and could cause an explosion.5.1.6 Vapor Pre

30、ssure (Test Method D2879)Vaporpressure, which normally increases with increasing operatingtemperature, is an important design parameter. Organic heattransfer fluids exhibiting high vapor pressures should be usedonly in systems with sufficient structural integrity. Operation ofvapor phase systems req

32、st Method E659. An open flame ignites leaking hydrocarbonfluids exposed on a porous surface at any temperature.5.2.2 Flash Point (Test Methods D92 and D93)Some heattransfer fluids are volatile and present a fire hazard at slightlyelevated temperatures, or even below 25 C.5.2.3 Biodegradation (Test M

33、ethod D5864)5An environ-mental concern, and toxicity (like acute fish toxicity, seeOECD Test No. 203) is more of an immediate concern forpersonnel that may come into contact with the heat transferfluid as well as plant and animal life that may come into contactwith effluent that migrates to streams,

34、 rivers, or reservoirs.Safety in use information is included a Material Safety DataSheet (MSDS). See Terminology D6384 for terminologyrelating to biodegradability and ecotoxicity. A basis for biode-gradable classification for hydraulic fluids is found in Table 4of Specification D7044 and while no sp

35、ecific biodegradabilityclassifications are available for heat transfer fluids, the envi-ronmental persistence of heat transfer fluids should be evalu-ated.4Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), 2, rueAndr Pascal, 75775 Paris Cedex 16, France.5As heat transfer fluids are main

36、ly used in closed and sealed circuits, this guideis limited to biodegradation issues. An extension to “environmentally friendly” or“ecoevaluated” heat transfer fluids including aquatic toxicities may be an object offuture revision.D7665 1725.3 Effect on Equipment:5.3.1 Effect on Rubber or Elastomeri

37、c Seals (Test MethodD471)Most seals in heat exchange equipment are made ofsteel or other metal. If rubber seals are present, it is desirableto maintain rubber swelling in the range of 1 % to5%toprevent leakage because of poor seal contact. Seals maydegrade in some fluids. As an oil deteriorates in s

38、ervice,additional tests may be required to ensure that seals remaincompatible with the altered oil. The temperature ranges of thetests should correspond to temperatures to which seals will beexposed in service.5.3.2 Corrosion (Guide G4)These tests concern selectionof materials of construction with f

39、luids usable for heat transfersystems. Guide G4 uses test metal specimens fixed within thestream of test fluid under use. The specimens and conditionsfor test shall be specified for each system.5.4 Effciency:5.4.1 Thermal Conductivity (Test Method D2717) and Spe-cific Heat (Test Method D2766)These t

40、hermal conductivityand specific heat tests are difficult to carry out, facilities forperforming them are few, and the precision data is yet to beestablished. Values can be estimated for design use from thegeneral chemical composition. Differences contribute to effi-ciency to a lesser degree than val

41、ues such as viscosity, moisturecontamination, and other measurable values in 5.1 and 5.5 ofthis guide. The values for thermal conductivity and specificheat may be available from the fluid supplier.65.5 Service Life:5.5.1 Thermal Stability, Laboratory Tests7Thermal stabil-ity is here defined as the r

42、esistance of a hydrocarbon liquid topermanent changes in properties that make it a less efficientheat transfer fluid. These changes may be related to alterationsin the liquids properties, such as viscosity, or to the tendencyto foul heat exchanger surfaces with insulating deposits.Normally, testing

43、should be done in the absence of air andmoisture to stimulate “tight” systems. The test may be usefulfor assessing the remaining service life of a used fluid, or itmay be used to compare the expected service life of competi-tive new heat transfer fluids.5.5.2 The following test methods can be used t

44、o determinethe change in values between new and used fluids, or betweena fluid before and after subjection to a laboratory thermalstability test. These test methods have been found especiallyuseful for determining the end of a fluids service life when anidentical fluid has been monitored with the sa

45、me tests through-out its service life. These test methods can also detect leakageof foreign material into the heat transfer fluid.5.5.2.1 Precipitation Number (Test Method D91) and In-solubles (Test Method D893)These test methods determinethe extent to which insolubles that may contribute to fouling

46、 ofmetal surfaces are increasing.5.5.2.2 Flash Point (Test Methods D92 and D93)A low-ering of flash point is indicative of thermal cracking to producelower molecular weight hydrocarbons. A rapid increase mayindicate that fluid is being exposed to excessive temperatures.5.5.2.3 Carbon Residue (Test M

47、ethods D189, D524, andD4530)An increase of carbon residue during service pro-vides an indication of the fluids tendency to form carbona-ceous deposits. These deposits, which may impair heat transfer,are caused by precipitation of high molecular weight materialsproduced by thermal cracking of the flu

48、id.5.5.2.4 Viscosity (Test Method D445 or D7042)An in-crease in viscosity may reduce the fluids ability to transfer heat(see 5.1.3). Cracking of hydrocarbons in high temperatureservice in closed systems often causes a decrease in viscosity.Thus a change in viscosity taken by itself is insufficient t

49、ojudge the performance of a fluid in service.5.5.2.5 Distillation (Test Methods D86, D1160, andD2887)Distillation can show directly the percentage of afluid that has cracked into lower boiling products or has beenconverted into higher boiling products. Distillation data canserve as the sole criterion for changing a heat transfer fluid.5.5.2.6 Neutralization Number (Test Method D664)Amarked increase in neutralization number is a warning ofoxidation in the system, which may be the result of leaks.
