Try Paratherm LR…way cheaper than Syltherm and same physical properties. Switched all my units to LR many years ago.Trick of the trade…put a small bag of molecular sieve in the holding tank. Use the larger molecular sieve…size of rice…wash the dust off with acetone…dry…put in small micron filter bag and put in tank. When you shutdown the unit they tend to pull in atmospheric moisture and will freeze into ice crystals over time and plug off the pump inlet. The MS will absorb the water and hold it…
