Governing Standards for Hot Oil (Thermal Heat Transfer Fluid) Service

What to Avoid in Hot Oil (Thermal Heat Transfer Fluid) Service

  • PTFE-seated ball valves (temperature limit exceeded)
  • Cast iron body valves (thermal shock and brittleness risk at high temperature)
  • Plastic or elastomer-sealed valves

Service Considerations

  • Thermal expansion - hot oil systems experience significant pipe expansion; flexible connections near valves
  • Fire risk: hot oil leaked onto surfaces above its autoignition temperature can self-ignite - fire-safe valves required
  • Graphite packing mandatory above 200°C - PTFE packing will fail
  • Thermal cycling: valve bodies should be specified for the full temperature range including cold start
