Heat transfer agents containing at least about 20 volume percent of diphenyl oxide and at least 20 volume percent of diphenylyl phenyl ether, polyphenyl ether or mixtures thereof have been found to be excellent heat transfer fluids with an unexpectedly broad range of liquidity.

Heat transfer fluids

The well-known heat transfer fluid consisting essentially of the eutectic mixture of diphenyl oxide and biphenyl is improved by the addition thereto of monomethyl- or monoethylbiphenyl. The resulting fluids have very nearly the same boiling point and heat stability as the binary eutectic but have substantially lower freezing points.
