To maximize the performance of a heat transfer system, Petro-Canada highly recommends flushing the system prior to recharging with a new heat transfer fluid. Petro-Canada Flushing Fluid is a clear, ultra-pure fluid specifically designed as a flushing agent for heat transfer systems. Residual fluids remaining in a heat transfer system may be oxidized. Left in place, these residual fluids can increase the acidity of a new fluid and act as a catalyst for oxidation.
Petro-Canada Flushing Fluid flushes residual fluid from a heat transfer system prior to system recharging. It also helps displace other system contaminants such as water, loose solids and debris, and dangerous light end components that may have resulted from thermal degradation of the previous fluid.
Thus, flushing with Petro-Canada Flushing Fluid results in a cleaner and safer system environment, maximizing the performance and the service life of the new fluid, and lowering overall operating costs.
Excellent mechanical flush
- Eliminates trapped, residual fluids.
- Displaces system contaminants including water, loose solids and debris.
- Creates a clean environment to maximize the performance and service life of the new fluid.
Compatible with all grades of Petro-Canada’s CALFLO heat transfer fluid
- No adverse impacts on new fluid performance.
- Will not add thermally unstable materials or shorten new fluid life.
- No reduction in new fluid viscosity, flash point or initial boiling point.
Easy disposal
- Can be disposed of through a number of environmentally acceptable methods such as used oil recycling or heavy fuels burning.
Petro-Canada Flushing Fluid can be heated up to 260°C (500°F) to maximize turbulent flow during the flushing process. When draining hot fluid after flushing, normal safety precautions should be taken to prevent burns and the risk of fire.
