Thermal fluid expert launches new high performance synthetic thermal fluid

Suitable for a wide range of industrial process applications, including chemical and plastics applications, the fluid offers a reliable, high-performance solution for managing temperature.

Globaltherm DBT is an energy efficient, organic heat transfer fluid that promises consistent, safe heat delivery from -5°C to 350°C without the need for system pressurisation. The fluid offers precise, reliable temperature control across a wide operating range, making it suitable for both heating and cooling applications. 

Designed with system compatibility in mind, the fluid is interchangeable with similar products, allowing manufacturers to upgrade without the need to modify existing equipment. This makes it a suitable option for those looking to improve system performance while avoiding costly downtime or engineering changes.

"This is about giving process engineers more control, more uptime and less hassle," said Dave Dyer, technical sales engineer at Global Heat Transfer. "Globaltherm DBT has a high boiling point, excellent thermal stability and a low viscosity, all key for reliable performance in high-temperature systems."

The new fluid is developed for use in closed loop, unpressurised systems, which lowers the risk of leaks, stress on system components and energy loss. It also performs well at startups in colder conditions, reducing the need for heat tracing. When even lower temperature performance is required, it can be safely blended with Globaltherm L to lower viscosity and ensure reliable flow.

The fluid is non-corrosive and compatible with standard industrial materials, including stainless steel, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and graphite seals. It operates cleanly, without forming sludge or carbon deposits when used within recommended conditions, making it well suited for long-term use in critical process environments

Globaltherm DBT users can also access Global Heat Transfer’s heat transfer system management programme, Thermocare. This service includes regular testing and analysis to track fluid condition, allowing operators to identify problems early and avoid more serious system issues. It’s a proactive approach to thermal fluid management that supports long-term system reliability

"We developed Globaltherm DBT with the realities of industrial downtime in mind," added Dyer. "When your process relies on consistent heat, even a small performance dip can have a big impact. This fluid is about helping teams keep production running smoothly - and focus on output, not troubleshooting."
