Applications |
N/A
Industrial Heat Transfer Systems - For use in closed heat transfer systems used in chemical and process plant, textile manufacturers, etc. where the oil is circulated in a pumped system operating under atmospheric pressure with or without an inert gas blanket. Shell Heat Transfer Oil S2 X can be used in high temperature continuous heat transfer equipment with the following application limits:

Features and Benefits |
N/A
Extended Maintenance Intervals - Shell Heat Transfer Oil S2 X is based on carefully selected highly refined mineral oils and resists oil cracking, oxidation and thickening. This provides extended oil life, provided efficient fluid heating and good pump circulation is ensured, such that film temperatures on the heater surface do not exceed the limits below. System Efficiency - Low viscosity enables excellent fluidity and heat transfer over a wide temperature range. Shell Heat Transfer Oil S2 X also has a low vapor pressure so resists cracking. This minimizes the formation of volatile decomposition products; these would require recovery via expansion chamber and condensate collector. Wear Protection - Shell Heat Transfer Oil S2 X is non-corrosive and has high solvency - this reduces deposit formation by holding oxidation products in solution and keeping internal surfaces of heat exchangers clean. |

Additional Information |
N/A The service life of Shell Heat Transfer Oil S2 X depends on the design and operation of the system. If the system is well designed and not subjected to abnormal workloads, the life can be many years. It is important to monitor oil condition regularly as rates of change in physical characteristics are more significant than actual values. The properties that should be monitored are viscosity, acidity, flash point (open and closed) and insolubles content. |
