Therminol VP-1 is a eutectic mixture of 73.5% diphenyl
oxide and 26.5% biphenyl, usable as a liquid or as a
boiling-condensing heat transfer medium up to 750F
(400C). It is miscible and interchangeable (for top-up or design
purposes) with other similarly constituted diphenyloxide/biphenyl fluids.
The physical characteristics of Therminol VP-1 heat transfer
fluid should be considered in the general arrangement of any
heat transfer system in which it is to be used.
Therminol VP-1 has a low viscosity between its melting point
(12C/54F) and the temperature at which it vaporizes. In
geographic areas where the system may be exposed to
temperatures below this level, all piping that may contain the
VP-1
of combustible liquids, of sufficiently high concentration in air,
will burn if ignited. The fogs are flammable even though the
overall temperature of the fog-air mixture may be below the
flash point of the liquid and even though the vapor saturation
concentration is below the flammable level.
taneously. An ignition source is necessary, together with a sufficient concentration of the combustible fog.
