FIRE SAFETY OF HEAT-TRANSFER AGENTS FOR HEAT GENERATORS

There are considered the properties of two groups of heat-transfer agents used to reduce the operating temperature and to increase the operating temperature. The following substances are included in the first group of heat-transfer agents: ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol, triethylene glycol, propylene glycol, glycerin. The following substances are included in the second group of heat-transfer agents: diphenyl mixture, AMT-300 oil, TLV-330 oil, mobileterm-600, dicumylmethane, ditolylmethane, tetrachlorodiphenyl, tetracresyl silicate, naphthalene, triple naphthalene mixture, nitrite-nitrate mixture. There are cited the physicochemical and fire hazardous properties of the mentioned heat-transfer agents, as well as the list of preventive fire-fighting measures and fire-extinguishing facilities.
