Abstract

A heat transfer fluid having high heat capacity, high thermal loading capacity, low visces~ and low freezine point includes diphenyl oxide and 1.1 diphenyl ethane in broad proportions.

Description

wo oorisi3o PcrNS~n~s~o HEAT TRANSFER FLUIDS
' Technical Field . Heat transfer fluids, sometimes referred to as heat transfer media. are heat transfer agents which are used in cooling and heating circuits and in heat recovery units.
There may be other uses for such fluids and as such, they are required or expected to have a high heat transfer capacity, high thermal loading capaciy and adequate thermal stabilin~ for the operating range. It is also desirable to have fluids which can stand very high heat and yet have a low freezing point while being inert.
Background Art There have been prior art heat transfer fluids which have some of the proper characteristics at high temperatures and at low temperatures and are chemically inert. The eutectic mixture of 73°~o Biphenyl oxide and 27°.~o biphenyl commonly known as Dow~thermA, is currently one of the largest volume heat transfer fluids sold worldwide.
Other widely used fluids are a mixture of hydrogenated terphenyl and quatraphenyl and dibertzyl toluene.
It has, however, become desirable to get away from the available heat transfer fluids which have previously been used for a number of reasons, one of which is the current requirements of the EPA as to reportable spill quantity for biphenyl. It is also desirable to provide a heat transfer fluid which has a higher resistance to heat and a lower freezing capabiliy, or a combination of both.

Disclosure of Invention It is the object of an aspect of the present invention to overcome any disadvantage~~ of the prior art heat transfer fluids and to eliminate the use of biphenyls to ~~bviate the need for spill reportage under the EPA regulations.
It is also an object of an aspect of the present invention to provide a more useful heat transfer fluid insofar as heat levels and freezing points are concerned and to additionally create heat transfer fluids having better stability under various conditions.
To achieve the objects of this invention, therefore, it has been discovered that a mixture: in broad proportions of Biphenyl oxide (DPO) sometimes referred to as Biphenyl ether, which has a structural formula of C~HSOC~HS and 1,1 Biphenyl ethane (DPE) having a structural formula of CH3CH(C~,HS)2 in varying amounts but generally a larger amount of either Biphenyl oxide or 1,1 Biphenyl ethane to substantially equal amounts of Biphenyl oxide and l,l Biphenyl ethane. In other words, fluid with an excess of 1,1 Biphenyl ethane over Biphenyl oxide and vice versa provides a useful heat transfer fluid. However, the preferred ratios of about S
to 50% 1,1 Biphenyl ethane to 95-50% Biphenyl oxide provides a heat transfer fluid with remarkable improvements over the prior art fluids, i.e., higher heat transfer coefficients and lower freezing points as well as greater thermal stability.
The composition recited above though similar to the prior art compositions already mentioned, is not shown in the prior art, has not been used, and as previously stated, is remarkably better than the prior art compositions so much so that it may be considered th~it the performance of~this material is unexpected and even synergistic.
According to one aspect of the invention, there is provided a heat biphenyl-free transfer fluid comprising a mixture of Biphenyl oxide and 1,1 Biphenyl ethane.
Best Mode for Carrying Out the Invention The present invention is a mixture in broad proportions of Biphenyl oxide (DPO), which has a structural formula of C6HSOC6H5, and 1,1 Biphenyl ethane (DPE) having a structural formula of C',H3CH(C6H5)Z. The preferred ratios of about to 50% 1,1 cliphenyl ethane to 95- -WO 00/15730 PC'TNS99/17870 50% diphenyl oxide provides a heat transfer fluid having high heat transfer coefficients, low freezing points and good thermal stability.
Although a mixture of 1,1 Biphenyl ethane and Biphenyl oxide, as outlined above, is the preferred embodiment of the invention, it is know to one of ordinarv~ skill in the art Lhat certain impurities and.~or isomers can be added in small quantities to this preferred heat transfer mixture without affecting the performance characteristics ofthe invention, as discussed more i;.:lly below.
In particular, it is know that XCELTHERM XT, a commercially available product consisting essentially of a mixture of 92-95°~0 1,1 Biphenyl ethane, 7-4°~0 1,2 Biphenyl etha.~:, and I
Biphenyl methane can be substituted for the pure 1,1 Biphenyl ethane material of the preferred heat transfer mia-ture without essentially affecting the overall heat transfer character:_tics of the resultant mixture when compared to the etpected performance characteristics of the preferred embodiment of the invention. The XCELTHERIvi XT product is processed by the assignee of this patent, Radco Industries, Inc. of LaFox, Illinois. ?accordingly. it is l:no~~n that a material consisting essentially of 1,1 Biphenyl ethane and smaller amounts of other impurities and/or isomers can be substituted for the pure 1.1 Biphenyl ethane of the preferred composition.
Thermal stability tests of mixtures of 1,1 Biphenyl ethane and Biphenyl oxide alone have been conducted. However, in view of all of the materials that have been used prior to the development of the heat transfer fluid of this invention, it has been decided to run confirmatory tests as to the novelty and unexpected improvement provided by the heat transfer fluid combination of this invention, namely, Biphenyl ether and 1,1 Biphenyl ethane.
The combinations that have been tested are terphenyls, dibenzyl toluene, the Biphenyl oxide-biphenyl mixture and the compositions of the invention to determine which fluid provides the best heat transfer results.
It should be noted here that the terms "Biphenyl ether," ''Biphenyl oxide" and "DPO" gill be used throughout this specification as indicating the same chemical component while "DPE" will be used as indicating l,l,diphenyhethane.
Many industrial production processes require the use of a heat transfer fluid in the temperature range of 600°F - 700°F. The heat transfer fluids used in this temperature range fall into t~~o broad classifications:
1. Liquid phase fluids-characterized by low vapor pressure y ith heat transfer occurring in the liquid phase.
2. Liquid,wapor phase fluids-characterized by higher vapor pressures with heat transfer occurring in the liquid or vapor phase.
Three distinct chemistries, all aromatic, define the most widely used fluids worldwide in this temperature classification.
1. 73% diphenyl oxide.'?7°ro biphenyl mixture - a liquid/vapor phase fluid.
2. Hydrogenated terphenvl'.quatraphenyl mixture - a liquid phase fluid.
3. Dibertzyl Toluene - a liquid phase fluid.
The primary factors which define a fluid's use range are:
1. Thermal Stabiliy.
2. Pour!crystalizing point.
The primary factor which defines its effectiveness within it's operating range is:
1. Heat transfer coefficient - the abiliy to upload, transfer, and download heat/unit time-area at a given temperature.
A major factor in a fluid's use is its environmental impact - whether it is regulated as a hazardous chemical. Since these fluids may from time-to-time leak from the system or be subject to the over-the-road spillage, those fluids regarded as "hazardous" by the EPA incur additional potential liabilities, and therefore expense, in their use.
wo oons~3o PcrNS99n~s~o Disadvantages of the various types of fluids:
Terphenyls:
1. Can only be used to 650°F due to lower thermal stability 2. Relatively low heat transfer coefficient.
3. Can only be used in the liquid phase.
Dibenzyl Toluene:
1. Can only be used to 660°F due to lower thermal stability.
2. Relatively low heat transfer coefficient.
3. Can only be used in the liquid phase.
DPOBIP:
1. High pour!crystallizing point - results in system shutdoNn problems especially in colder climates.
'_'. Contains biphenyl - environmentally hazardous quantity in spills of over 100 lbs. of biphenyl.
The objective is to provide a single fluid that will operate in either the liquid,rapor phase with acceptable thermal stabiliy to 700°F offering a sufficiently low pour,'crystallizine point, high heat transfer coefficient. and minimal environmental exposure.
The heat transfer coefficient is a primary measure of the ability of a heat transfer medium to transfer heat. Therefore, a fluid having a higher heat transfer coefficient at a given temperature may be expected to transfer more heat/unit heat exchange surface area than another 7th a lower heat transfer coefficient at the same temperature. As such, a higher production rate or a decrease in production time is possible with the fluid having the higher heat transfer coefficient.

A fluid exhibiting greater thermal stability relative to another at any given temperature will provide increased fluid life and a decreased potential for system fouling caused by thermal degradation by products.
The Thermal stability tests were conducted using the Ampule Test Procedure.
The Ampule Test is generally accepted as an industy standard for the testing of relative thermal stability between heat transfer fluids Although there is no standard ASTM-ype Ampule Test defined, the data generated by such testing has proven reliable over the course of many wo oonsz3o Pcrnrs~n~s~o years. Variations between methods exist as to the composition and diameter of the ampules, the method by which the oxygen is removed from the ampule, the sample size, and the temperature run. However, with the exception of those methods which do not properly provide for oxygen removal. the relative results are reliable as long as uniform temperatures are maintained across the oven. The data serves to define the thermal stability performance differences between fluids in any gi~~en s~~stem.
The procedure for the Ampule Test is as follows:
Purpose: To determine relative thermal stabiliy by measuring the thermal decomposition of heat transfer fluids under like conditions in the absence of oxygen.
A. SA'vIPLE PREPAR4TION
