Managing Thermal Fluids and their Systems
Risk in thermal fluid systems is always high and that’s why it’s vital to understand how to monitor and manage this risk, to create a safe working environment and keep fluids working at optimum performance. Continuous monitoring of thermal fluids and their systems not only helps organisations to save money, but it can also eliminate future risks, improving employee safety and, crucially, saving lives.
Here we share our top tips for managing thermal fluids and their systems.
Recondition rather than replace
Traditionally, when systems needed to restore fluid flashpoints they would have to replace the thermal fluid in its entirety. Now, when firms notice their fluid has a reduced flashpoint, suppliers are able to recondition thermal oils to maintain appropriate flashpoints. Here at TFS, we’ve created an alternative to costly fluid replacement in the form of our revolutionary HT FluidFit service. Cost effective and environmentally sustainable, the HT FluidFit prolongs fluid life by a factor of 10 and reconditioning can be undertaken while systems are in full operation, avoiding costly down time.

The importance of long-lasting fluids
Through continuous research and development, our long-lasting fluids have been specially created to offer a high level of stability, slowing the fluid degradation process and flashpoint reduction. Working with such fluids reduces the frequency with which fluids need to be reconditioned or replaced, meaning that systems can continue to operate safely and efficiently in the long-term, with minimum flashpoints consistently maintained.
Invest in risk management strategy
Risk management involves the continuous monitoring and maintenance of thermal fluids and their systems. Comprehensive fluid sampling and analysis can help you gain a better understanding of the condition of your fluid and the steps you can take to prevent future risk. Here at TFS, our experienced engineers take fluid samples to our purpose built, in-house laboratory to analyse the condition of thermal fluids, before helping you and your maintenance team understand the results and the implications this has for your thermal fluid system.
Ensuring your fluids comply with current legislation is also a crucial element to employing a risk management strategy.
