What is heat transfer Oil?
Heat transfer oil, also known as thermal fluid, is a specialised substance engineered to facilitate heat exchange within various thermal systems. Unlike traditional water-based solutions, heat transfer oil operates across a broad temperature spectrum, ensuring consistent performance in demanding environments.
Its unique properties enable efficient heat transfer, offering precise temperature control while minimising the risks of corrosion and freezing. Ideal for diverse applications such as manufacturing, food processing, and renewable energy, heat transfer oil serves as a reliable catalyst for optimising thermal processes, enhancing productivity, and ensuring operational excellence."
Characteristics of heat transfer oil:
1. Thermal Stability: Heat transfer fluids maintain their thermal properties over a wide range of temperatures without significant degradation.
2. High Thermal Conductivity: Effective heat transfer fluids have high thermal conductivity, allowing them to efficiently transfer heat from one point to another within a system.
3. Low Viscosity: Low viscosity ensures easy circulation through pipes, pumps, and heat exchangers, reducing energy consumption and operational costs.
4. Non-corrosive heat transfer fluids are chemically stable and non-corrosive to prevent damage to system components and ensure long-term reliability.
5. Wide Operating Temperature Range: are capable of operating at both high and low temperatures, offering flexibility for diverse industrial processes.
Petro-Canada CALFLO™ AF is a highly efficient heat transfer fluid formulated to lower operating costs in systems where fluid resistance to oxidative breakdown is critical.
CALFLO AF’s unique chemistry starts with a blend of 99.9% pure base fluids, produced using the HT purity process. These crystal clear fluids are free of impurities that can hinder performance. Utilising more than 25 years of formulating experience, Petro-Canada fortifies these thermally stable fluids with specially selected additives to provide stronger resistance to oxidative breakdown than leading competitive fluids.
The result is CALFLO AF, a heat transfer fluid that provides high thermal efficiency in systems operating up to 316°C (600°F). CALFLO AF’s breakthrough chemistry can extend fluid life longer than leading competitive fluids, lowering operating costs by reducing the frequency of fluid change-outs.
Petro-Canada Lubricants CALFLO is a proven line of heat transfer fluids designed with a blend of high-quality base fluids or synthetic polyalphaolefin base oils to resist thermal and oxidative stresses, perform in all applications including extreme cold environments and high bulk temperatures, and meet your health and safety needs.

Petro-Canada CALFLO AF is recommended for use in non pressurised, liquid phase, closed heat transfer systems operating at bulk temperatures up to 316°C (600°F). CALFLO AF’s outstanding resistance to oxidative breakdown can result in longer fluid life and lower operating costs in systems where exposure to air cannot be avoided, and oxidation is the most likely form of fluid degradation. Typical applications include temperature control units used in plastic extrusion, plastic moulding, and metal die- casting operations.
